A Heritage Experience offers visitors 20+ activities designed to experience hands on skills and crafts which were part of every day life for pioneers, settlers and farm-steaders in early Florida. The exhibit is simply made and organized so that folks may enjoy their chosen activity freely and immediately.
Several activities require materials to produce them so we charge a small fee for those. The price is listed. We can bring The Heritage Experience to your event for a stipend of $800 within 65 miles of Crones Cradle Conserve. Call or email if interested.
Other exhibits will be offered as needed or designed. Free Activities

A Heritage Experience
burst almost full blown into the brain of one of the owners of
Crones’ Cradle Conserve who deduced that history didn’t stay in
one’s brain when only the eyes were used to experience it. It
had to be more effective and, there had to be a more effective
way to learn history. After spending too much time watching
people being admonished to “stay behind the lines,” “do not
touch,” or “no photography allowed”, she determined to devise a
way to offer history where you could touch, dip, pull, push,
eat, sweat and have fun.
The exhibit offers a composite of crafts and skills used
through the settling of the territory. So - many periods of
early Florida are reflected in the displays. For example, once
clothes were washed in buckets, on river and creek banks or
holes in the ground. We chose to use wash tubs with scrub
boards and wringers because we feel our visitors get more “hand
work” with them.
