Seminole Indian Village and Cultural Center

One-and-a-half miles of boardwalk nature trails wind throughout the lush vegetation. Signage on the trails identifies the plant life, and describes traditional Seminole uses of the plants. Plants include various ferns, orchids, air plants, Spanish moss, pickerelweed, arrowhead, maidencane, and St. John's-wort. Along the trail is a re-created Seminole village, where artisans work on traditional arts and crafts. Beside the village is a re-created ceremonial grounds, which represents the annual Green Corn Ceremony. The grounds include various chickee dwellings, and an area for playing the traditional stick ball game. During special events, storytelling takes place in the amphitheater along the trail.
