Within the park is the Nocoroco Site, a Timucuan village reported by Spanish explorers in the early 1600s. The site is represented by a black earth and oyster shell midden. Artifacts recovered from the once-extensive midden indicate that the site was used from 2,500 years ago. The park museum contains exhibits on Florida history, including artifacts from Native Americans who once dwelled here, living off fish-filled lagoons.
