The Wiggins general store, a two story brick structure built in 1903 and one of the few buildings in it’s original location, is the starting point for a self guided tour of the village. The first floor is set up as a general store with cases displaying turn of the century merchandise. The second floor has exhibits of Manatee County history. Seven other building, along with several outbuildings, have been relocated or reconstructed to form the village.
The main path in the village is accessible but bumpy at times because of the brick construction. The store, Stephens house, meeting house and school house (very unsubstantial ramp) are accessible. The boat works and courthouse do not have ramps and are not accessible. We didn’t visit the bunkhouse or the cemetery.
The parking lot has long spaces for RVs and buses but the turns in and out of the lot are a little tight. Village
