Art and History Museums - Maitland explained

Art and History Museums - Maitland, sometimes styled Art & History Museums - Maitland, and originally called the Maitland Art and History Association is a museum and arts center in Maitland, Florida.

The center was established in 2010 from a merger of the Maitland Art Center, known for its bungalow colony,^[1] and Maitland Historical Society when the city allowed the new entity to oversee the Art Center location. The Art Center was named Florida's national historic landmark.^[2] Subsequent to the original merger, the Telephone, Waterhouse Residence and Carpentry Shop Museums were added to the organization to tell a broader history of Central Florida.^[3]

The Research Studio, opened by Andre Smith in 1937 and the core of the old art center prior to its 1959 closure due to its founder's death,^[1] is also now part of the combined organization.^{[4] [5]}

Andrea Bailey Cox served as president and executive director from 2010 through her December 2016 departure.^[2]
