Share Photos, early Hobe Sound Memorabilia, and Stories
Help preserve Hobe Sound’s history by sharing your stored items with generations to come.
If you have nothing but memories, we are embarking on a Video/Oral History Project and will be contacting Hobe Sound’s long-timers to share their memories of growing up and/or living in Hobe Sound. Yesterday’s happenings are history, so if you have a story to share, we would like to hear from you.

Our Vision
The historic, iconic Apollo School will continue to be a community-minded, historic landmark in Martin County that offers a distinctive view of the past and a focus on the future with cultural, educational, and historical offerings to the people of Hobe Sound and Martin County.
