La Casita House Museum

The Ybor City Museum Society and Ybor City Museum State Park invite guests to experience the rich cultural heritage of Ybor City, one of only two National Historic Landmark Districts in Florida. Guests can visit the La Casita House Museum located in the 1923-era Ferlita Bakery, its lush Mediterranean-style garden and the "casita," representative of a typical cigar-worker's family home.

Check often for special events, programming updates and news on the many exciting activities that the Museum and Society plan for you. Education and research tools help active learners, teachers and students learn more about the role Ybor City played in Tampa's development and its reputation as the "Cigar Capital of the World." To help preserve this legacy and ensure that it is available for future generations, it is urged that you to get involved by becoming a member, volunteer or donor.

A guided tour through the park with one of the knowledgeable park rangers or volunteers is available, or embark on a walking tour of the Ybor City Historic District to immerse yourself in the unique flavor of the area. The museum is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm and admission is reasonably priced. Children under the age of 5 are free.
