Manatee Village Historical Park

"On the day we visited this charming Manatee Historical Village, we had some time to kill. It really is worth visiting to learn a little about Manatee and how it existed back in the 1800s. We so enjoyed walking through the house, small museum, and old church. It makes you stop and think how fortunate we are to live in this day and age when you see how simple and primitive their life was back then. Thanks, Manatee Village Historical Park. We will recommend you to others."

"Wonderful event, Old Manatee Christmas. The village is very nice. It has the oldest court house in Florida, school, church, boatworks, General Store and an old Cracker house and more! It's a must see."

"Amazing place to see how early settlers lived in FL. Well maintained buildings and grounds. Don't miss the burying grounds across the street. Friendly staff, too. Free to enter, please make a donation."

"Such a nice place to come and see old trains and buildings. They have some nice things to do. I saw some neat things. The ladies inside the building are very nice. I liked the chickens. They Even have an out house. If you like activities they have some free books to take home. I had a good time! They have brochures behind the general store. The whistle stop train shop is currently closed with a sign. It is indoors. The houses are hot because they don't have air conditioning so they recommend you stay hydrated and use benches to rest."

"Really interesting museum! Have been here for about 2-3 hours! The people that work here are incredibly nice and helpful! I noticed they also made little activity books for children. So a museum for all ages! Toilets are very clean. Shout out to Nancy who was so nice, warm and enthusiastic to tell us more about the museum!"
