The Pinellas Pioneer Settlement is a non-profit, volunteer organization which accepts as its mission to authentically recreate the life styles of Pinellas County pioneers through the relocation or recreation of period buildings and education about the skills, crafts, and social customs of early settlers. Located adjacent to Boyd Hill Nature Park, the Settlement is a living history museum experience where visitors can observe and take part in the skills, crafts and social customs of late 19th century life in west central Florida. Highlights include the Brantley Building (1888), Endicott House (1898), a blacksmith, saw mill, sugar cane shed and pole barn. These buildings have been the backdrop of Civil War enactments, music festivals, antique engine shows and other period events.
