==Historic preservation== The Boynton Beach Historical Society formed in 1968. According to its website, the historical society's mission is "to act as a living repository for Boynton Beach's traditions and history, to interpret items of historical and antiquarian significance, and to promote a better understanding of the history of Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County and the State of Florida." The organization does not have a physical location. As such, the Boynton Beach Public Library houses its archives and records. In addition to Boynton Beach, the historical society also maintains materials relevant to the histories of [[Briny Breezes, Florida|Briny Breezes]], [[Gulf Stream, Florida|Gulf Stream]], [[Hypoluxo, Florida|Hypoluxo]],<ref name="BBHS"/> [[Lake Worth Beach, Florida|Lake Worth Beach]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.boyntonlibrary.org/jsp/RcWebBrowseCollections.jsp|title=Local History Archives|publisher=City of Boynton Beach|accessdate=June 11, 2023}}</ref> [[Lantana, Florida|Lantana]], [[Manalapan, Florida|Manalapan]], and [[Ocean Ridge, Florida|Ocean Ridge]], as well as areas from the city's western boundaries to [[U.S. Route 441 in Florida|U.S. Route 441]].<ref name="BBHS">{{cite web|url=https://www.boyntonhistory.org/contact/|title=Contact|publisher=Boynton Beach Historical Society|accessdate=June 4, 2023}}</ref> The city's Historic Resources and Preservation Board lists 170 historic sites, including commercial and residential buildings, bridges, cemeteries, churches, social clubs, and other architectural features.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://historic.boynton-beach.org/type|title=Historic Sites by Type|publisher=City of Boynton Beach Historic Resources and Preservation Board|accessdate=June 4, 2023}}</ref> Additionally, the board maintains two heritage trails, one for the 30 sites listed in downtown and another for the 3 historic cemeteries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://historic.boynton-beach.org/sites/default/files/docs/Downtown-Heritage-Trail-Brochure.pdf|title=City of Boynton Beach Downtown Heritage Trail|publisher=City of Boynton Beach|accessdate=June 4, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://historic.boynton-beach.org/sites/default/files/docs/Cemetery-Heritage-Trail-Brochure.pdf|title=City of Boynton Beach Cemetery Heritage Trail|publisher=City of Boynton Beach|accessdate=June 4, 2023}}</ref> Federally, Boynton Beach has two structures listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] – the [[Boynton Woman's Club]] and the Boynton School, now known as the [[Schoolhouse Children's Museum & Learning Center]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/fl/palm+beach/state.html|title=Florida - Palm Beach County|publisher=nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com|accessdate=June 4, 2023}}</ref>
