Dade City - Pioneer Florida Museum and Village

Dade City - Pioneer Florida Museum and Village

On display are tools of the Florida Pioneer Man, showing how he built his house, made his furniture, plowed his fields, harvested his crops, and did his leather-work and blacksmithing.

There are many wonderful historic buildings including the Trilby Train Depot, a Lacoochee one-room schoolhouse, the Methodist Church from Enterprise settlement (mow Lumberton Area of Dae City/Zephyrhills), a two-story 1860s restored Overstreet house, a general store, and more.

On display in the Overstreet House and kitchen addition, are furnishings which reflect the Florida Pioneer Woman's everyday experiences - churning butter, cooking on a wood-burning stove, spinning, weaving, battling and boiling the family wash and doing her household tasks with simple primitive equipment.

The Pioneer Florida Museum hopes to show that the men and women who were here before us, struggled, made do, and sometimes won and sometimes lost their battles with nature. In essence, they were people much like us.

Blanton Packing House - Citrus Plant that educates school children as well as visitors. A new Blacksmith Shop and Woodworking Shop were added in 2018. A log house built in 1910 has recently been moved to the museum and is currently being put back together, preserved and furnished.
