Arch Creek Park and Museum


Arch Creek Park is considered a small park with a huge history. The park was built around a limestone bridge. This bridge is all natural and was once part of the Indian Trail. It was thought to be used by the Tequesta Indian Tribe, who is now extinct. The path was also used by the Seminoles in later eras.

The park houses a museum which showcases the artifacts left behind by Native Americans. There is also a homestead on the site near the arched bridge. Park naturalists will guide guests through the park to point out animals, plants, insects, and other important natural features. Arch Creek Park and Museum is a Florida State Historical Preserve.

Ghost tours are offered on Wednesdays, with historic walking tours on Saturdays. Reservations are required for either event. They also have special programs for children and adults, a butterfly garden, bird and wild animal sanctuary. Picnic tables, shelters, nature trail, and restrooms are all part of the Arch Creek Park experience. Hours of operation are 9am to 5pm Wednesday through Sunday. The park and museum is not open on Monday or Tuesday. Cost for entering the museum is subject to change.
