Photos from museums, especially Florida Natural History museums.
Fort Christmas Historical Park is a cool little living history village located between Orlando and Titusville/Cape Canaveral. It consists of Fort Christmas, a schoolhouse, and at least 6 or 7 pioneer cabins. They are all decorated with furniture and items that are historically appropriate. As I have said in the […]
Over the Thanksgiving break I had the chance to make a quick trip through Fort Christmas Historical Park which is located in Christmas, Florida, just west of Orlando. Unfortunately they only partially opened the buildings because of the holidays, but I did get into several of them and did a […]
