LOCATION SPOTLIGHT: YESTERYEAR VILLAGE

Historic treasures and replicas of a bygone era help set the scene for Old Florida at Yesteryear Village. For the past 30 years, the collection of buildings has grown beyond a schoolhouse, a barn, farm and blacksmith shop, to include a firehouse and print shop, general store, dentist office and a church with its original windows and pews as well as several homes built before 1940. With an extensive collection of authentic Bell South equipment, a dressmaker’s house, a fishing camp and the Gatekeeper’s Cottage (also known at the Riddle House), this has also served as a setting for paranormal projects. 

The six-acre property at South Florida Fairgrounds takes visitors back to an era before running water and other modern conveniences, when people grew their own produce and had goats and chickens. The Village includes brick sidewalks, mature trees, offers long and clear sightlines and conveys a sense of community.

The property was the location for the production In Sanity, FL that featured the late Burt Reynolds, and has hosted numerous productions over the years. See more of the angles available at Yesteryear Village at pbfilm.com/location-directory.
