Come visit the Largo Area Historical Society and explore our newest museum display celebrating the fascinating history of Largo's very own Band of Gold!

In 1978, the Band of Gold achieved international acclaim by winning the World Championship at the World Music Contest in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. This outstanding accomplishment earned the group three gold medals, bringing pride and recognition to Largo and securing its place in local history.

Our next open house will be on Saturday, November 7th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Historic Largo Feed Store.

Largo Central Elementary School ca. 1989.

Opening in 1963, Largo Central Elementary School was located at 250 First Avenue NE. It held the distinction of being Pinellas County's first air-conditioned school, marking an important milestone in the county's history.

After 45 years of serving the community, Largo Central Elementary closed its doors for the final time on June 3, 2008, due to declining student enrollment and budget cuts. Though the school is no longer in operation, its place in Largo's history remains an important part of the community's educational heritage.
