I stopped by to check out the park while passing through Christmas and was pleasantly surprised by how much there was to see! We'll have to stop by again when the weather is cooler to get a chance to check it all out. :) The main appeal would be lots of restored buildings (or replicas thereof) with antique furniture and relics that we can walk through and get a sense of what it was like to live in Florida long ago.

Very interesting and unique place to go. There's quite a few things to see and do. Many historical buildings transported here. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the fort itself was undergoing some major repairs and was closed to the public. There are pavilions for people to gather and play ground for the kiddies.

Nice little small town with a lot of history. The park is nice and quite. They do Cracker Christmas every year. Homemade crafts and food all over the park. Well worth the trip. They had old buildings brought in from surrounding locations to preserve history.

Does anyone think it's fair that Orange County spends millions on this site but a few miles down the road in Bithlo they won't spend a penny to preserve the history and heritage there?

I believe that's a question for the local city to answer. You should go to one of the meetings and tell them how you feel. I'm not from the area but it's the same in every city/ county. They have meetings for the local people to voice their opinions of how the budget is spent annually. Good luck.

Regards, It is completely free. When you get there, just start walking around, there's no need to stop by the main booth first if you don't need a map or more information.
