Polk County History and Heritage Citrus Label Tour

A partnership between the Citrus Hall of Fame, Visit Central Florida and the Polk County History Center’s History and Heritage Trail inspired the creation of the Citrus Label Tour of Polk County. This driving experience explores part of the historic marketing portion of citrus through the artistic labels that once adorned the old wooden crates used to ship the fresh fruit off to northern markets in the early 1900s. Enlarged reproductions of these vintage labels are found on various buildings and sites throughout the county.
