🏛️ The Best Museums In Polk County — Ranked By Locals

A home built by a formerly enslaved man is sitting inside the Smithsonian's permanent collection.

A private residence in Bartow got its own episode on Netflix.

Both are in Polk County.

Both are open to the public.

And most people driving past have no idea.

We've now told both of these stories in our Did You Know Polk History collection — and wanted to highlight them among some of Polk's best.

So we dug through hundreds of reviews to rank the county's best museums and historic homes, the ones locals actually go back to, not just the ones with the biggest parking lot.
