Cracker Country and its collection

Cracker Country is a unique living history museum that offers a glimpse into rural Florida's past. Established in 1978, the museum features thirteen original buildings that date from 1870 to 1912, all set in the year 1898. These buildings were carefully moved from various locations throughout the state to their current location in East Lake-Orient Park. Visitors can explore these historical structures and get a sense of what life was like in rural Florida at the turn of the 20th century.
