Bradenton
Explore Bradenton’s Old Florida history and visit its museums, parks and preserves.
Not to be missed: The vibrant downtown, the RiverWalk and the Village of the Arts – a working artists community.
You'll also want to experience Robinson Preserve, DeSoto National Memorial Park, the Cortez fishing village and the Manatee Village Historical Park. A collection of restored, historic buildings from Manatee County's pioneer past, the historical park includes a courthouse, one-room schoolhouse, farmhouse, general store, boat shop, steam engine and a Florida cowboy bunkhouse. It’s culture and it’s fun.
