Ybor City Museum State Park

Ybor City Museum State Park

Late 19th-century Tampa was the site of buzzing economic and social activity, and this vibrant Gilded Age Society is documented in the Ybor City Museum State Park. Exhibits cover the workings of the cigar industry and the history of social clubs in the city. Also on site is the Casita, a cottage that housed cigar workers at the turn of the century.
