Historic Spanish Point is a 33-acre museum and environmental complex located in Osprey, Florida, featuring an archeological exhibit of a prehistoric shell mound, a pioneer homestead historic house museum, a citrus packing house, a chapel, boatyard, gardens, and nature trails. Established in 1982, the site showcases over 5,000 years of Florida prehistory, from the Late Archaic period to the Manasota and Late Woodland periods.
Once a homestead owned by the Webb family and later acquired by Bertha Palmer, Historic Spanish Point offers visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history and cultural heritage. Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, the site is now a companion campus of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, providing a unique blend of archaeology, history, and botanical beauty for all to explore.
