Barberville Pioneer Settlement

Hi All,

Today we visited the Pioneer Settlement near Deland, FL. Thirty acres, 18 historic structures and over 10,000 historical artifacts. 

They host school groups with numerous hands on programs about life in the late 19th century.

 Part of their mission is preservation of important historical structures. This is the Astor Bridge Tenders House.


The original Barberville Central High School

Kids program on shearing and carding wool.

The old Pierson train station and caboose.

The blacksmith shop has school programs and meetings of the Florida Blacksmith Guild.

The Firehouse houses two antique fire engines.

The Quarters House was insulated with newspaper . 
Love,
