There is a nice park and play area for the kids along with the replica fort and lots of items from the old fort which some of our company loved looking at, they have moved a lot of old cracker homes onto the park and it is fun to see "how they used to live"

Interesting little stop in Christmas, Florida. My boys loved the replica fort. The old settlers homes were very nice.

We enjoyed touring the museum and learning about how the earlier settlers lived in Florida. History about the Indian relationships, citrus, cattle, farming, etc. Many displays from clothing, "cracker home", Fort Christmas, sugar cane press, etc. Worth the trip!

We've been to Fort Christmas twice now. The first time was in the Spring without much planning - and we found it was closed on Mondays. This last time, we planned to be there for the Cracker Christmas Festival. There were numerous craft and food vendors along with the historical reenactments and demonstrations. We brought our Christmas cards with us to mail them from Christmas, FL! The post office (just down the road from the Fort) mail slots were PACKED! It was nice to walk around looking at the crafts and seeing how people lived in Florida all those years ago.

Very nice park like setting with plenty of picknic areas shaded by grand old oak trees. There is an are a few acres in size that has an impressive collection of old homes of various age and style. Ea. One decorated with period furnishings. You can really feel like you stepped back in time as you walk into these homes. If you like history or want to learn about old florida, do yourself a favor and go. Oh ya.....its FREE...... but if you can appreciate the work it takes to keep this place available to the public you could (should) leave at least a small donation in the donation box, JMHO.

It's still free and great for kids. They have many old houses from late 1800's to maybe 1950, decorated for the time period. Each house has information about a family that lived previously in the house. When I first moved to Florida in 1966, before their was a museum; I would drive to Christmas to mail Christmas cards, they had a post office, and your cards would be post marked Christmas, Fl.

This was a great place. The homes and school there have the correct era items. Loved it! Pavilions for picnics, bathrooms, basketball court and softball field.

Went here on a whim with my two girls, ages 4 and 9. First of all, it's FREE and they really could charge admission for the quality of presentation. Many houses completely decorated as the time when they were built from 1870 to 1950 to get a glimpse of old cow and cracker Florida. Had a great couple of hours to roam the houses and reconstruction 1830 fort. Fantastic.

I have lived in the area for 25 years & I've driven through Christmas at least 100 times. I always envisioned the Ft Christmas Museum as a gift shop with a few displays on the local history.Wrong, Wrong, Wrong...............The replica fort is quite large and houses an extensive collection of tools, guns, farming equipment, etc. But the highlight for me was the collection of small houses outfitted with period furniture and gear. This area provides an accurate picture of what life was like in Central Florida in the early 1900's. For an extra bit of authenticity go in the summer when the temps hit the high 90's. That should make you (and your kids) appreciate the wonders of modern living.Oh, and did I mention.........the admission price is $0.

Travelled 60 miles to this place, and thought it was worth the drive.It is a self guided tour round buildings which have been moved from various places to one location . Each of the buildings has information boards telling you both about the building and the families that lived in them. Each is decorated with period pieces so you get a feeling the family is going to be back at any moment.The fort is a replica of the original, but it is still interesting to look round.There is a large children's playground, coveted picnic areas and grills for public use.A great place to spend a few hours without costing much as entry is free. There is a small shop on site with friendly staff.
