Spend an autumn Saturday at Cracker Country, Tampa’s only outdoor living history museum. Explore original buildings from Florida’s pioneer past, including the iconic Okahumpka railroad depot, a one-room school house, a well-stocked mercantile, a post office, the 1885 home of a Florida governor and more. Stroll through four acres shaded by majestic live oak trees and enjoy the museum at your own pace. Along the way you will meet historical interpreters who are ready to share with you what life might have been like for rural Floridians living at the turn of the 20th century.
Show off your knowledge of turkey trivia and participate in guessing games popularized in the 19th century. You may even win tickets to Christmas in the Country, Cracker Country’s annual holiday event.
Cracker Country’s General Store features nostalgic and reproduction items, historical toys and games, books, candy and many other unique gift items that are great for holiday giving! Proceeds from sales in the General Store help support Cracker Country's educational programs.
