FLH strives for high standards in historical interpretation and supports educational initiatives that promote a greater understanding and appreciation of Florida's rich and diverse history.
The purpose of FLH is to:
- Foster an understanding of Florida’s history through programs, events, demonstrations, portrayals, media relations, and publications;
- Encourage the study of Florida’s colonial and territorial history from the time of Don Juan Ponce de Leon’s first landing in 1513 to the time of Florida’s statehood in 1845;
- Develop living history programs that interpret, portray, and demonstrate the Native American, military, and civilian aspects of that history;
- Present such programs to students and members of the general public;
- Operate exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.
FLH also serves as an organizational umbrella for living history units committed to accurate interpretations based on in-depth historical research, analysis, and consultation with professional academics and historians. The organization will provide logistic, administrative, advisory, and insurance-related support for these units to enable them to function smoothly, safely, and securely in their endeavors. Member units of FLH are covered at all events by a comprehensive liability insurance policy. Certificates of Insurance are available upon request. FLH measures its success by the long-term committment of its member units to provide educational enlightenment, entertainment, and a greater understanding of Florida's past.
