Dudley Farm

Alicia and the kids had a fun saturday, exploring Dudley Farm. It was fun to feel the history of the family. Walk into there home, kitchen, see where they did laundry.. and check out there transporation... I tell ya I'm greatful for my washer, dryer, dishwasher, and AC...not to mention my vehicle. So many things to be grateful for. We also meet up with some friends and the kids got to explore together. The quilt show was beautiful, such talented people. It was a fun day.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this park demonstrates the evolution of Florida farming from the 1850s to the mid-1940s-through three generations of the Dudley family. An authentic working farm, the homestead consists of eighteen buildings, including the family farmhouse with original furnishings, an 1880s kitchen outbuilding, a general store and post office, and a functional cane syrup complex. Park staff in period clothing perform daily chores, raising crops, and tending to livestock. The farm features seasonal cane grindings, corn shuckings, and heritage varieties of livestock and plants. Deer, wild turkeys, gopher tortoises, and bluebirds are still seen in the fields.
