Weedon Island Cultural and Natural History Center

Weedon Island Preserve is an expansive 3,190-acre natural area located on  the western shores of Old Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg, FL. The Preserve is comprised of aquatic and upland ecosystems, numerous species of native plants and animals, and a rich, cultural history extending back thousands of years. Nestled deep within the Preserve is the Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center.  Dedicated to reconnecting people with the environment, the Center offers seasonal interpretive tours, workshops, and other programs for public enjoyment. Visitors are encouraged to visit the Center's exhibit gallery, "Connecting People and Place", with 6,000 square feet of interactive exhibits, and an 1,00-year-old saltwater dugout canoe that was discovered in 2011. The Preserve protects this wide diversity of natural and cultural resources for current and future generations to experience and enjoy.
