For more than 20 years, the Friends of Canaveral, Inc. have supported the National Park Service in its mission to preserve, protect and interpret the 57,000 acres of pristine shoreline, dunes and wilderness that are Canaveral National Seashore.
In 1989, the Friends were instrumental in raising funds and public awareness to restore and preserve the Eldora State House which is located within the park. Today we continue this partnership, with emphasis on maintaining the historic buildings within the park-- the Eldora State House, the Shultz-Leeper House, and the house and caretakers house Seminole Rest.
In 2010, we are celebrating the 35th anniversary of Canaveral National Seashore by initiating a multi-year project to build an interactive learning center that will give our children a hands-on experience to learn about their heritage and to protect it for future generations. The Timucuan Indians, the Spanish Conquistadors, and the early 19th century settlers of the Eldora community can come alive for kids and adults alike.
In our planned learning center, children will learn as they have a lot of fun! They can explore Turtle Mound, Mosquito Lagoon, discover the unique wild life and plant life of a barrier island and experience the real life of the early19thcentury settlers.
