Theme: Music & Literature
Discover some of Florida’s rich music and literary history at Cracker Country! While visiting the museum’s historic buildings, homeschoolers can participate in activities designed to make late 19th-early 20th century literature and music come alive! Enjoy live musical demonstrations on the dulcimer, mandolin and conga drum, make your own musical instrument, and do some of our “everyday” chores, like churning butter and cleaning laundry on a washboard.
