Discover the Past


Imagine it’s the year 1898 and you have just settled in rural Florida. What would you be doing, seeing and experiencing? To find out, step through our doorway into history and Discover the Past!

Cracker Country's Public Openings let you use your senses of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing to relive early rural Florida at your own pace. Perhaps you will churn and taste butter, help make a rope, spin wool into yarn, or maybe work with the soil as you help plant crops! Activities and programs change with the seasons, so you’ll want to come back often for new experiences.

For more information about this exciting new program please contact Jennifer Becker, Program Supervisor, at 813-627-4225 or Jennifer.Becker@freshfromflorida.com.

Upcoming Dates:

Cracker Country will be closed to the public for Summer 2012 and we will resume our public openings in Fall 2012.

Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day at Cracker Country, Sept. 29th 10am-4pm
