The Lake Wales municipal government constructed this small bungalow for use by the community, principally the Lake Wales Woman's Club. In 1938, it became the home of the Lake Wales Chamber Commerce. Scheduled for demolition in 1989, Crystal Lodge was rescued by the Historic Lake Wales Society and moved to its present location on the Historic Corridor where it continues to serve the community as the Children's Museum.

Crystal Lodge is located at 323 S Scenic Highway.
