Historic Spanish Point is 30-acres centrally located in Sarasota County, Florida. Learn about the region’s prehistory in "A Window to the Past," the only archaeological exhibition in the nation built inside of a shell mound. Visitors can also connect to Florida's inspiring pioneers by seeing Sarasota's first produce packing house, a charming chapel and pioneer cemetery, and the beautifully preserved Guptill House, built in 1901. If plants are your passion, this museum has plenty to see and explore, like Mrs. Palmer's Jungle Walk and Sunken Garden. The butterfly garden is one of the largest on the gulf coast. All of the amazing sites can be found in the quiet oasis of history located on the shores of Little Sarasota Bay in the town of Osprey.
