We're so grateful to have Nancy involved in our organization, her knowledge and passion for preserving history is a huge asset. Thank you Nancy for all you do!

Meet Nancy Fisk, A Champion for Avon Park History!

If you've visited the Avon Park Depot & Baseball Museum, chances are you've crossed paths with Nancy Fisk. As President of the Avon Park Historical Society, Nancy has dedicated countless hours to preserving and sharing the rich history of our community.

Nancy's volunteer service extends far beyond the museum. She is actively involved with numerous organizations, including the Heritage Association of Highlands County and Avon Park Main Street. In recognition of her extraordinary commitment to our community, Nancy was honored as the 2025 Volunteer Champion by Visit Sebring.

Nancy has been volunteering at the Avon Park Depot & Baseball Museum since 2013. When asked why she chose to volunteer at the museum, she shared:

"I have always liked history and gained experience working for a museum when I lived in the Caribbean. Spending time at the museum seemed to be a good way to learn about Avon Park."

Her curiosity and love for history have helped countless visitors discover the stories, people, and events that shaped our City of Charm.

When asked what she wishes more people knew about the museum, Nancy said:

"We change out exhibits occasionally, so there is something new to see and a reason to visit the museum more than once."

It's dedicated volunteers like Nancy who help keep our history alive and ensure future generations can appreciate Avon Park's unique story. Her passion, knowledge, and willingness to serve make our community a better place.

Please join us in thanking Nancy Fisk for her years of hard work, dedication, and volunteerism. We are grateful for all she does for our museum and our community.

📣 Please Help Us Welcome The Who I Am Foundation to Avon Park Main Street!

We are excited to have The Who I Am Foundation as a Avon Park Main Street Supporter! 🎉

Based right here in Avon Park, this incredible nonprofit is dedicated to preserving identity, dignity, and connection for individuals who are unable to communicate for themselves. Through their free Life Story Communication Kits, they help healthcare providers, caregivers, foster families, and loved ones better understand the people they are caring for by sharing the stories, memories, and personalities that make each person unique. 

What began during the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to help healthcare workers connect with isolated patients has grown into a program that has served more than 15,000 individuals. Their mission is simple but powerful: ensuring that every person is seen as more than a diagnosis by helping others understand who they are and the life they have lived. 

In addition to their healthcare support efforts, The Who I Am Foundation also works with foster care families, individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s, nonverbal patients, and others facing communication challenges. They continue to make a meaningful impact throughout our community and beyond. 

We are grateful for organizations like The Who I Am Foundation that embody compassion, service, and community connection. Thank you for investing in Avon Park and helping make our community stronger.

💙 Welcome to the Avon Park Main Street family!
