Baker Block Museum

Baker Block Museum is a local history museum in Okaloosa County that displays regional artifacts, tools, and documents from early settlement times. The collections show how people lived and worked during the region's formative years.

The museum focuses on the development of the Florida panhandle region, highlighting industries such as logging, naval stores production, and rail transportation. These economic activities shaped how settlers built their communities and organized their daily lives.

The museum documents how Native Americans, Spanish, French, and Dutch settlers shaped the region through their interactions. These encounters are shown through objects and accounts that reflect the daily lives of these different communities.

The museum sits at the intersection of State Roads 189 and 4, making it easy to locate and access. Plan your visit for Tuesday through Friday or the third Saturday of each month when doors are open.

Heritage Park adjacent to the museum preserves original structures including a post office, mill, log cabin, and blacksmith shop that reveal daily life during pioneer times. This reconstructed settlement lets visitors step into the past and experience how people truly lived and worked in those days.
