What a hidden gem! I visited this place with my children as part of our homeschooling journey, and it turned into such an incredible learning experience. They discovered so much about citrus, its history, and the local community. Kathleen was fantastic she patiently answered my daughter’s many questions and really made the visit special. Although the space is small, it’s packed with information and hands-on learning opportunities you’d never expect. It was also super easy to find using Google Maps, which made the trip even smoother. Highly recommend for families, homeschoolers, or anyone curious about the world of citrus and the rich history of this area!

What a wonderful little treat this was while walking around Vero Beach. My mom and I went in to the museum because it started to rain a little. We were greeted by Heather who was fabulous. She explained the building, local citrus history dating back to the natives and into the 21st century. We really enjoyed our time here. Don’t let the size fool you, it is packed with information and perfect spot for planning an event. We got to sample an Indian river orange and some juice. Would highly recommend stopping in and saying Hello to Heather!

What a cute little museum! It was just luck that we found it! Everytime we pass the building, we think it's the Heritage part of the building and it never looked open. But we saw the sign and boy, we're glad we went. Not only did we get a great tour, but free Florida orange and grapefruit samples! This place is a must for Florida history!

This museum was one of the best I have visited! Please do not let the size deter you! Although it is very small, it is packed with so much local history. The local historian at the museum that day gave a tour of the museum, giving so much history and information that was not already apart of the exhibit!

Unfortunately we came during the off season. This meant we could not try some fresh Indian River Orange juice or see the groves. I have already planned a trip back during the season (November-May) to see even more of this very unique museum.

Since visiting, multiple friends and family have visited and all have said how great the museum is! Please Please Please visit them!

They also have a function hall in the room next to the museum. The hall (called the Heritage Center) was restored and preserved back to how it was in the early 1900s. The roof, original fire place, and floors were...

Известный во всем мире своими сочными, выносливыми плодами, регион Индиан-Ривер во Флориде производит до 55 миллиардов апельсинов в год. Этот товар настолько восхитителен, что в отчете 1890 года в журнале Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine отмечалось: «Апельсин Индиан-Ривер не следует упоминать в одном ряду с обычными апельсинами. Это сам по себе деликатес, доселе неизвестный миру».

Удачное географическое положение во многом обязано судьбе реки Индиан, которая технически не является рекой. Две мили в ширину и 155 миль в длину, это приливная лагуна, охватывающая центральное восточное побережье Флориды, которая защищает цитрусовые культуры от суровых заморозков зимой. Тем не менее, потребовались тысячи лет, чтобы апельсин стал символом Солнечного штата.

Примерно за 2500 лет до того, как на номерных знаках Флориды красовался его культовый оранжевый логотип, этот местный фрукт Юго-Восточной Азии был описан Конфуцием в его «Пяти классических произведениях» . Сотни лет спустя мавританская Испания процветала благодаря разновидностям апельсинов, и ко времени Европейской эпохи исследований испанский закон предписывал каждому моряку брать с собой в плавание 100 апельсиновых семян для посадки в новых колониях в качестве медицинской необходимости. В 1513 году апельсины, вероятно, были привезены во Флориду Понсе де Леоном, и его моряки, которые разбрасывали свои семена без разбора, создали широко разбросанные рощи, которые в конечном итоге стали выращиваться и выращиваться коренными американцами.

Однако зима 1835 года стала трагическим периодом в истории цитрусовых во Флориде, когда сильные заморозки погубили все апельсиновые деревья на этой территории... все деревья, кроме рощи, посаженной на острове Мерритт Дугласом Дамметом. Изначально сахарная тростниковая промышленность привела Даммета во Флориду из Коннектикута, но как только он осознал потенциал цитрусовых, он быстро стал первым апельсиновым магнатом. Однако зарождающееся предприятие созрело для взяточничества, и после его смерти в 1873 году сады Даммета были куплены поддельным итальянским герцогом, назвавшим себя герцогом ди Кастеллуччо. К счастью, апельсиновый бизнес продолжал процветать даже во время его бурного брака с Дженни Анхойзер (знаменитой Клайдсдейл).

Сегодня Музей цитрусовых Indian River отдает дань уважения людям, которые официально организовали и развили миллиардную индустрию во Флориде в прошлом веке. От визионеров, которые построили огромные упаковочные цеха и создали новые гибриды фруктов, до сборщиков, которые могли собирать до 20 000 апельсинов в день, и талантливых маркетологов, которые создали теперь уже культовые изображения апельсинов Флориды, все они представлены в этой привлекательной...
