  The Lake County Historical Society recognized Mary Jane Lange as Preservationist of the Year for her efforts in preserving the history of Minneola and South Lake County.  Mary Jane is responsible for the restoration of the "Old Schoolhouse" at 100 S. Main Ave. Built in 1885, the building is the oldest schoolhouse in Minneola. After restoration, the building will serve as the city's first public library. In the future, when a new city library is built, the building  will be converted to a historical museum.
