Join in on a one-room school house lesson, try your skills at rolling hoops, or dip a $2 beeswax candle all while listening to the sounds of a bluegrass band on our main stage.
Smithsonian Magazine’s National Museum Day event has been paused for 2023, but in the spirit of that community event, Cracker Country will offer FREE admission for all visitors for this one day special event!
Activities: Visitors can tour historic buildings and grounds that represent home life, commerce and transportation as it was in many rural Florida communities just before the turn of the 20th century. See our model train display, meet a 19th century Florida cow hunter and help with the everyday chores like churning butter and laundry with an old-fashioned washboard.
