Forest Capital State Museum

This state museum celebrates the timber & timber industry which built Florida; the heart of the museum is dedicated to long-leaf pines, which grow on the museum grounds. The geodesic dome forming the center of the museum houses an unusual map that features the unique woods of Florida, and exhibit cases are made of different native woods. In October, the museum is the focal point of the Florida Forest Festival which attracts hundreds of visitors annually. Adjacent to the museum is the Cracker Homestead Interpretive Site, which is typical of the homesteads that once dotted the pinewoods of north Florida at the turn of the century. Picnicking is allowed on the museum grounds.
