Every February during the Florida State Fair, Cracker Country opens its gates to the Fair’s guests. Take a stroll back in time and relax as you take in the sights, sounds and smells of Florida’s history. Walk the museum grounds and visit with the costumed interpreters to take part in the customs of the past.
Take home a newspaper printed on an antique printing press right before your eyes, try a taste of real sugar cane and watch how its is juice is boiled into syrup. Visit the crafters and trade demonstrators throughout the museum grounds. See how tools were used in the early 1900s, and discover the art of spinning, woodcarving, blacksmithing and making cow whips in the time of Florida’s pioneers. End the afternoon with a bag of kettle corn, fresh beef jerky and a refreshing lemonade as you take in the sounds of traditional country music under a canopy of oak trees. Make sure to stop by the Cracker Country General Store to take home a souvenir of your visit.
Entrance to Cracker Country is included with your Florida State Fair admission. It will be here until February 15th, 2010. Make sure to come and be a part of the traditions of Florida’s history.
