From its beginnings in 1876 as the Orange County Reporter, the Orlando Sentinel has grown alongside the city it serves. Today, as a three-time Pulitzer Prize–winning newspaper, it celebrates 150 years of journalism, community, and storytelling.

To mark this milestone, the History Center presents Extra! Extra! The Orlando Sentinel Turns 150, a pocket exhibit showcasing photographs, archival materials, and artifacts from our collection that reflect the paper’s long presence in the region. This exhibit invites visitors to encounter original materials that highlight how the Sentinel has been read, experienced, and remembered across generations.

Together, these objects help preserve the history of one of our community’s most enduring institutions: our local newspaper.

Pocket exhibits are small displays that use small spaces in the museum outside of traditional exhibition space and usually have a short run. They are a great way to showcase recent acquisitions and topics that might not fit into a major exhibition but still tell an interesting story of Central Florida’s history.
