The Oviedo Historical Legacy Awards began as a way to honor the living legacies of our community. These beacons and luminaries who share Oviedo History with some whose families have been integral with the growth and stewardship of our town. We wanted a way to acknowledge and honor them. We wanted to share and showcase those everyday members who let their life be their message through their stories, their involvement, community engagement, and of those around them and younger generations.

In 2018, the Legacy Awards  were introduced. Here are the  Award Recipients.

• 2018 - Ophelia Moor & Pennie Oliff
