Discover what life would have been like for a child growing up in a Florida farming and ranching community over 100 years ago! Educators in historic dress will welcome guests to the 1895 Smith House, Okahumpka Depot, Terry Store, School House and more authentic structures. Students will learn cowhunter skills, like how to read a cattle brand and what to pack for a long cattle drive.
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.
