Manatee Village Historical Park - Museum in Bradenton - 1404 Manatee Ave E, USA

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.

Nous avons visité beaucoup de musée comme celui-ci à travers les Usa et le Manatee Village n’est vraiment pas extraordinaire. La seule pièce que nous avons aimé est l’hangar à bateaux. Le reste est neuf et mal restauré à notre goût. Les vitrines sont vides, le shop est fermé, le seul point positif est que ce musée et gratuit..

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!

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.

Several authentic original buildings were relocated to this location, creating an awesome place to go to see historic real pieces of the past to include courthouse, school, boat manufacturing, blacksmith, church, and a building depicting typical homes of the past. There is an administrative staff building at this location and so this area can be viewed and is open to the public with permanent restrooms and gift shop. There was a Christmas arts and crafts fair happening on the weekend that I went there.

Amazing well preserved piece of history. The condition of everything is astounding considering how old things are. You get a true feeling for how life used to be. If you love learning about history, I recommend stopping by. It's free to visit, but you are able to give donations to support.

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!
