Reviews

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.

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.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree

This free indoor/outdoor museum is fantastic. Just look for the Old Cabbage Head Train upon arrival. We learned a whole lot about old Florida and Manatee County. Walking through the many buildings was like walking back in time. The church and the old court house were my favorites. There are restrooms and a small playground for the kids. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to ask for the scavenger hunt before you head out into the village. This is a real hidden gem for all ages. Check it out! Donations help to keep this place so awesome!

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!

Step back in time with a self guided tour through the remnants of an old sugar cane mill, school house, church, and more. Free parking and admission plus they are pet friendly. There is plenty of area to walk about with many portions shaded.  Restrooms are available.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree

Great historical village, with a real general store and gift shop with many cool things. And a lecture today about how Floridians survived without air conditioning. They're tougher than we are. Great fun.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree

So we found this place while on a trip when our other plans got cancelled last minute.  This is a great place.  The staff is super friendly and the scavenger hunt for the kids made the visit exciting for the kids the kids also loved the playground.  If you are into historical buildings and small villages, this is a must for your list of places to visit.  Also, the gift shop has a lot of fun things in it, so be should to stop in there.
