The Barnacle Historic State Park

History & the outdoors beautifully rolled into one outing. A lovely and little-known city escape right in the heart of Coconut Grove.

A true Miami hidden gem . Just a $2 donation add a short walk down a forest path to the bay leads you to a quiet retreat right in the city .

The walk in is great! You really don't know where it's taking you and then POW! Beautiful house! Definitely a hidden gem and it's only a $2 donation ! Check the hours as they are tricky!

A stroll through the Barnacla historic state park gives you a glimpse of a pioneer lifestyle during The Era of the Bay .

A sense of how the first European settlers in Miami (in the 1880s!) lived. Make sure to check if a tour is available- may not be worth going otherwise.

Miami's oldest residence. Good spot to take a break from busy cocowalk area and free. Only donations.

Beautiful area for a leisurely walk. Always read the plaque .

don't miss this local gem - a view into our village history and a really relaxing afternoon in the sun
