The historical Society Our Mission Preserving, promoting, and celebrating the unique cultural heritage of Ybor City. Our Vision The Ybor City Museum Society is the primary interpreter and conservator of Ybor City's rich history and heritage. Our multidisciplinary programs and exhibits provide educational experiences about the people and events that brought immigrant groups together beginning in 1886. Many of them worked in Tampa's renowned cigar industry or provided essential goods and services to those who did. These early citizens of Ybor City preserved their own traditions and were the first contributors to the City's cultural diversity, whose mores and flavors are still evident in modern-day Tampa. who We are The Ybor City Museum Society, Inc. (YCMS) has been the primary interpreter and conservator of Ybor City's rich history for over 40 years. As of January 2024, YCMS has expanded its mission by rebranding as the Ybor City Historical Society. The Ybor City Historical Society is proud to preserve more than 135 years of Ybor City’s rich history by operating the Tampa Baseball Museum at the Al Lopez House, offering the Rolling Through History mobile museum program, and creating cultural assets that benefit the community. ​ We believe that valuable lessons and inspiration can be found in the remarkable story of Ybor City, its diverse immigrant roots, and the vibrant community that sprang from humble beginnings. The Ybor City Historical Society partners with our community members to r estore the character of Ybor City through e ducating the community about its history, a dvocating for the current community, and p reserving the cultural heritage for future generations.
