The Historic Spanish Point campus protects and interprets the largest existing Native American village site between Charlotte Harbor and Crystal River. Over 4,500 years ago, the first Floridians settled on the bayfront property which provides many discoveries for our on-site archeologist as well as engaging opportunities for all who visit. In addition, Selby Gardens seeks to preserve, conserve, and protect buildings, objects, landscapes, and other artifacts of historical significance within its purview. Preservation of our past continues the legacies of our founding families as well as provides historical context and education for our visitors.
