Details

Take a journey back to the past spanning 150 years where 3 generations of the Dudley family lived and worked this farm. 18 historic structures make up the authentic farm complex, not a re-creation. In 1983, the last of the third generation, Myrtle Dudley donated her family farm to the Florida Park Service.
We will be treated to a private tour by Doug Day, Dudley Farm historian and volunteer who will present the history of this working farm. Come join us to learn the evolution of life and farming in Florida from the 1850’s to the mid-20th century.
