THE TRAILS

The Trails reside on the 22 acres that border the Museum's location.  The Trails are owned and maintained by the City of Cocoa and are open dusk to dawn 7 days a week.  The access gates are opened and closed by a group of City volunteers.  You may wander from a half mile up to two miles through the ecologically friendly area that includes a bridge over wetlands and inclines over the sand dunes.  And, you might run into a few resident Gopher Tortoises and see lots of Florida plant species.  Enjoy!!

In 1975, the Albert and Grace Taylor addition to the Brevard Museum came to fruition via the Grace Webster Taylor Testamentary Trust.  Many of Grace Taylor's personal effects are on continual exhibit.  Grace Webster Taylor was a resident of the City of Cocoa, who passed away on December 27, 1945.

The Brevard Museum is proud to be the only exhibitor  of the findings of the Windover Archeological Site, which is located approximately 15 minutes north, near Titusville, Florida.  In 1982, skeletal remains were found on approximately .25 acres during the development of Windover.  The State approved funding and the excavation took place in 1984.  The remains of the individuals were well preserved and were buried in a pond cemetary in excess of 7,000 radiocarbon years.
