The park is operated by the Palmetto Historical Commission, Manatee County Clerk of Circuit Court, the Manatee County Board of County Commission, and the City of Palmetto.
Historical Structures within the Park
The park houses several historical structures including Palmetto's first Post Office from 1880, a cottage museum, a historic one-room schoolhouse, a small military museum, and a reproduction chapel that represents the area's churches. Each of these buildings offers a glimpse into the past and helps visitors understand the history and culture of the area.
Educational Programs at the Park
The park offers a variety of hands-on programs aimed at educating both children and adults about the early history of Florida. These programs include activities and props teaching about pioneer chores, with each activity having its own corresponding YouTube video featuring park staff. This interactive approach to learning makes the park a great place for educational visits.
