Facilities
The initial facilities consisted of the museum itself, together with classroom buildings. More recent additions include a new wing to the museum, a lunch pavilion, a research library, a Florida cracker pioneer settlement of the late 1800s, and a one-room schoolhouse used by African-American students during racial segregation (c1930).
The Center's 19th century farm buildings (houses, meeting house/school, sheds, blacksmith, etc.) and museum of the natural and social history of the area are used during the week by the school district for classes, but are open to the public on the weekends.
