Osceola History Museum & Pioneer Village

Pioneer Village and the Welcome Center & History Museum are open every day, 10am – 4pm; closed on major holidays.

The center is comprised of 4 realistic dioramas showcasing different habitats that you could encounter while in Osceola County: swamplands, pine flatwoods, oak hammock, and lakefront. Once you experience each section in person, you'll see just how much nature and history are tied together in Osceola County.

Each exhibit features an interactive display and scavenger hunts. You can apply what you've learned in the museum just steps outside of our building on Shingle Creek and see first hand the wildlife in its natural setting. The Welcome Center and History Museum also offers a multi-purpose room that seats 50 theater style with a mini kitchen. There is also a screened room that over looks the creek and would be great for any outdoor occasion.

The Pioneer Village is comprised of a permanent collection of authentic structures which once stood in different areas of Osceola County. They were carefully relocated to our present location and gently preserved to demonstrate how life was once lived before our modern times.

The village includes a general store and post office, schoolhouse, church, train depot, homesteads from Osceola settlers, Seminole settlement, a cow camp and working structures such as a blacksmith shop, citrus packing plant, cane grinder, and barn.
