School Tours
The Palmetto Historical Commission, Inc. offers fun and interactive school tours for children grades K-5 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Younger students will experience a day in the life of Florida's pioneers. They will attend class in a one-room schoolhouse, receive mail from an 1880's post office, and experience home life in a turn-of-the-century cottage. Older students will discover history's mysteries by traveling back in time to become an investigative reporter covering an event in Palmetto's history, they will then return to the present, and become historians studying Palmetto's past. Finally, they will travel 500 years in the future to become archeologists studying the lost city of Palmetto. All programs correspond with Sunshine State standards. So hurry and make your plans today to visit the Palmetto Historical Park, and experience a whole other time! Call (941) 723-4991 for reservations.
