Moseley House Museum

The Moseley House Museum is a two-story residential building in Eatonville that displays objects and memories from the town's early days. The house contains furniture, photographs, and personal items that show what daily life was like for residents back then.

The house was built in 1888 and belonged to Jim and Matilda Clark Moseley, whose family had close ties to the town's founders. The building reflects a time when the community was building and developing its independence.

The museum preserves the story of one of the first self-governed African American communities in the country. You can see through the exhibits how residents lived here and the role the Moseley family played in town life.

The museum is located on a residential street and easy to find if you follow local directions. Visitors should call ahead to make sure the building is open for a tour, as hours can change seasonally.

Writer Zora Neale Hurston visited the house often and was close friends with Matilda. These visits made it a gathering place for people interested in literature and storytelling from that era.
