🏛️ 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.

👉 Full list with the link in the comments.

🐾 BACKYARD CATS: IT’S TIME TO FIX THE SITUATION! 🐾

Starting September 1, SPCA Florida is offering FREE spay and neuter surgeries for backyard cats! 🎉 The promotion also includes ear tipping, rabies vaccine, and pain medications.

We’re helping community members make a difference for cats living outdoors—and we’re kicking things off with 15 FREE surgeries every day of the promotion while funding lasts.

# # # 🐱 Here’s the deal:

⏰ 7:00–7:30 a.m.
👀 First 15 patients only
🚫 No appointment necessary
🪤 Cat must be a backyard cat and arrive in a humane trap
💰 FREE spay/neuter while funds last

Spaying and neutering is one of the most important things we can do to help reduce the number of unwanted kittens entering our community. One unaltered cat can contribute to a surprisingly large number of kittens over time. By spaying and neutering backyard cats, we can help prevent future litters, reduce overcrowding, and improve the health and well-being of community cats. ❤️

If you care for a backyard cat, this is your chance to make a difference!

Thank you for your interest in animal welfare and for helping us build a healthier, happier community for cats and the people who care about them. 🐾💙

Starts September 1. First come, first served. While funds last.
