5 /5 Anne Whittemore: What a great place to learn in depth about our distant and recent past in history and agriculture! The volunteers (Tracy) are great. Spend a few hours meandering around the exhibits both inside and out of the historical structures. Decorated for the period during the holidays. Lots of special events for all ages. Join the mailing list or become a member. Terrific Florida cracker/farming displays of local branding irons, saddles, and equipment. If you are into our past here in Manatee County, youll love it here!
