The Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science is Cocoa's premiere natural history and science museum, offering nearly 15,000 square feet of exhibit space showcasing artifacts from throughout Florida's natural and cultural history periods. The museum is best known as the home of the remains of the Windover Woman, the oldest human skeleton found in North America, as well as a recreation of the Windover Archaeological Site, one of the most significant archaeological expeditions ever embarked on in North America. More than 3,000 significant artifacts are displayed across the museum's exhibits, which also include retrospectives on the region's indigenous groups prior to Columbian colonization and on the region's early white pioneers. Other exhibit topics include examinations of the region's citrus and railroad industries. Outside, the museum is home to a 22-acre nature preserve located adjacent to the Eastern Florida State College Planetarium and an open-air butterfly garden.
