Mulberry Attractions
The Mulberry Phosphate Museum chronicles the history of the phosphate mining industry in Mulberry and Central Florida. The museum used to be a freight and passenger train station. In the Main Gallery, visitors can see the fossils of ice-age mammals and ancient sea creatures that inhabited Central Florida millions of years ago. Outside the Main Gallery, two additional exhibits detail the "Story of Phosphate" and the history of Mulberry. The museum also has a special area where visitors can dig for small fossils and a train caboose that children can play in.
