An impressive abundance of history is such a small place. The attendant offered many interesting explanations and facts. Highly recommend.

From the history of the building to the history inside, its worth the visit. $3.00 donation per visitor. Staffed by volunteers. Everything from the Indians to modern day. Items include artifacts, pictures, bullets, guns, bottles, sewing machine, wheel chair, radio, Confederate uniform and much more. There are items for sale, including local history books and reproductions of ventage post cards.

Such a neat little place! It was $3 per person and it was WELL worth it. No one else was there when we went and Evan showed us around and answered all of our questions. He is SO knowledgeable and funny. It almost felt like we had a private tour guide.We had about 50 mins before the place closed and Evan was so nice and told us to take our time. We didn’t stay past 5 but would have if we didn’t want to take up his time! I think an hour and half would be a good amount to read everything but you can do it quicker if you’re just a visual person.He recommended to stop in Fort King, which was also nearby. If you are interested in the Seminole wars check that out too. That one is free and has a short movie, a display, and of course the fort. There is more to come in the next several years from what they told us.

This is a great place to visit in Ocala. They have preserved lots of history from the local area. Every time I visit I learn something new. If you are from the area and dont know about the history of Ocala Marion county I suggest checking this place out.you cant beats the $3 price. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and will answer any questions you have.

Small, but wonderful museum to learn a little of the area! Our group took a docent led tour and I highly recommend it. It brought the area to life and gave a real feel for what was happening in Marion County at various times in history.

Its a fun little hidden gem. The museum has lots of rich local history that travels through early natives on through current. There is something there for everyone from the hardened history buff to the low key history nerd.
