Florida Agricultural Museum, Agricultural museum in Flagler County, United States.
The Florida Agricultural Museum occupies a site on Old Kings Road in Palm Coast, Flagler County. Its grounds hold a restored 1890s pioneer homestead, an early 20th century dry goods store, five restored buildings from a 1930s Great Depression-era citrus operation, and a 5,000-square-foot dairy barn. The Old Florida Museum, a living history museum, is housed within it.
The museum's buildings trace Florida agriculture from the 1890s onward: a restored pioneer homestead, an early 20th-century dry goods store, and five structures from a 1930s citrus operation. The Old Florida Museum, a living history museum, moved to the site in 2019; before that it occupied a replica wooden fortress on San Marcos Avenue in St. Augustine, drawing 18,000 students a year.
The Old Florida Museum, now housed within the Florida Agricultural Museum, presents living-history exhibits on the Timucua people and Florida Cracker pioneers. Before its 2019 move it occupied a re-creation of a wooden fortress on San Marcos Avenue in St. Augustine and drew 18,000 students a year. School field trips remain regular, and in 2023 the site held its first Lost Arts Festival with blacksmithing, woodworking, canning and candle dipping.
The grounds are at 7900 Old Kings Road in Palm Coast, off Old Kings Road north of the city. Horseback trail rides are offered alongside the buildings, so book riding separately from a walking visit. Much of the site is outdoors and spread across separate structures, so allow time to move between them on foot.
