Description

Explore Tampa’s 19th century living history museum by night. Along the way, meet storytellers who will spin wild yarns about a few of Florida’s unexplained oddities! A little scary, a little funny and always family friendly, the Tall Tales tour is a Florida history adventure by lantern light.

Cracker Country is a living history museum that represents aspects of home life, commerce and transportation as it was in many rural Florida communities at the end of the 19th century. During the Tall Tales of Old Florida tour, “tellers” will share uniquely Florida stories about skunk apes, misbehaving trains, cow hunting giants and other legendary creatures. Guests will also enjoy a magic lantern show, featuring a turn-of-the-20th-century projection technology that led to the birth of the film industry.

Guests may come early and enjoy seasonal decorations and Victorian games in the garden while waiting for a tour to begin; after the tour, visitors are invited to enjoy a snack and visit the general store.

Tall Tales of Old Florida will take place on Saturday, October 17 beginning at 6:45pm. Each walking tour will last 60 minutes. This event is recommended for ages six and up. Admission is $14 per person and includes a snack. Advance purchase price of $12 per person is available through October 10. Tickets are sold in time blocks
