In Heritage Village the history of Pinellas County Florida is
preserved in both aspects of the buildings and the early pioneers who occupied
these structures. Along Old Walsingham Road is situated the 21 acre outdoor museum containing 28 buildings. On a hot sunny day stroll the shady paths between
the buildings as well as the Shirley McPherson Nature Trail. Here the early
history comes alive nestled in a native pine and palmetto landscape.
