Living History Park IN YESTERYEAR VILLAGE

Yesteryear Village is open every Thursday, Friday and Saturday operating as A Living History Park from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. This is a unique opportunity for visitors to chat with the town residents (volunteers) and listen as they talk about what their daily life was really like prior to 1940. Florida’s rich history in your own backyard! When visitors walk into Yesteryear Village, they are transported to a different time. A time when schools were located in one small building, houses did not have running water and when people had goats, chickens and sheep in their backyard.

We offer four (4) different volunteer opportunities during our Living History Park, Thursday, Friday or Saturday - 10 AM - 4 PM:

1st Person Interpreter
3rd Person Interpreter
Village Volunteer
Shadow Volunteer

Volunteers will explain heritage, history and historical concepts to the visitors or assist staff with special projects. Training provided.
