Osceola County Historical Society Pioneer Museum in Kissimmee
Information about Osceola County Historical Society Pioneer Museum in Kissimmee: opening hours, how to get there, contact details
By far one of the most interesting attractions that Kissimmee has to offer, the Pioneer Village and Museum features late 19th century structures and attractions that teleport visitors back during a time when Kissimmee was known as a sleepy, cattle town before Mickey moved in next door.
Tourists will have an opportunity to visit the historic Ross Lanier House (built in 1889), as well as a one-room schoolhouse and a Citrus Packing House. Visitors will also be able to check out the day-to-day routine of a Florida Caracker Cow Man at the Cow Camp and browse the different exhibits and the museum, Tress Newsstand and Tyson General Store from 1887. The museum is also open to researchers who can browse genealogical records and historical maps and archives.
Families looking to take a quiet break from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks in Orlando, can do so with a picnic on the ground’s Orange Grove.
The best part of the museum is admission is free. To schedule a tour appointment, call 407-396-8644.
