The Osceola County Historical Society Pioneer Village is a permanent collection of authentic late 19th century buildings from Osceola County, brought together to make this village and to show how early pioneers lived in the area. There is a blacksmith's shop with a working forge and a citrus packing house from 1890 in which early citrus farmers packaged their crops for distribution.

The Tyson House is a one-room log shanty typical of the homes of the average farmer; it dates from 1892 and was inhabited by James C. Tyson, his wife, and their 11 children. The Lanier Crackle House is a better class of architecture and has a central breezeway that acted as natural air-conditioning for the home. The pioneer village is adjacent to a Seminole village with its open-sided homes and a nature preserve kept in a manner consistent with late 19th century settlements.
