Vero Beach, FL…. The Historical Society of Indian River County announces “The History of the Hallstrom House” as the feature video for their January 14th Movie Night. The event will take place from 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM at the Vero Beach Women’s Club located at 1534 21st Street in downtown Vero Beach.
In addition to the movie, speakers scheduled for the event are Wendy Swindell and Ashley Lingwood, Indian River County Conservation Lands Division of the County’s Parks & Recreation Department who will speak about the County’s Hallstrom Farmstead Conservation Area located adjacent to the Hallstrom property.
The History of the Hallstrom House video is one of over a dozen historical videos produced by the Historical Society using the talents of local videographer Nick Verola, Verola Studios. Funding for all Historical Society videos is made possible through an Indian River County tourist development grant.
For nearly forty-two years, the Indian River County Historical Society has contributed to preserving the historical and environmental resources of Indian River County, the Indian River Lagoon area, and the State of Florida.
Among the many accomplishments of the Historical Society are saving Jungle Trail, a historic 7.5-mile greenway along the Indian River Lagoon; implementing the countywide historic marker program; and successfully securing registration of local historic properties on the National Registry of Historic Places.
The Historical Society office is located in the 1903 Vero Beach Railroad Station on 14th Avenue in historic downtown Vero Beach. In addition to the railroad station property, the organization owns, operates, and maintains the 1918 Hallstrom House on Old Dixie Highway. Both of these properties are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
