Very interesting and entertaining. Our tour guide, Melissa, was knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend this tour of Pensacola's historical past.
Surprising find! Great historical interpreters, especially Donna in the kitchen, (or as a guide) Gail the storyteller and many of the college student guides. Ask to play 19 century games, ask about candle making and what they are growing in the garden. Step into Pensacola circa 1805 when it was a Spanish colony. Tae the tour! At 11am or 1:30pm
Wonderfully preserved historic sites in a place that's far more significant to American history than I had ever realized (and this is my 3rd time in Pensacola). Touring the village felt like we had come to the heart of the heart of significance, but nobody could have brought out that significance with more depth or joy than our tour guide Melissa. She is knowledgeable and funny and gives our heritage the respect it deserves. She gave my wife and me only one regret -- that we had come without our kids!
It was fun. Very beautiful village. Unfortunately we got there too late for any guided tour.
The historic village in Pensacola is a great place to visit. The museum is very interesting and we really enjoyed going through the historic buildings and Old Christ Church. Our tour guide, Melissa, did a fantastic job and was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic to teach us.
Overall, we had a good time at the village. The buildings and grounds are very well maintained. There are many artifacts to see and brings back much nostalgia from visiting grandparents and great grandparents in my youth and seeing many things that were in their homes. The tour was informative and entertaining. Donna did a wonderful job with the tour.
I was impressed with the signage on history of people who were enslaved. I was also impressed the tour started with conversations about Native America folk and the original inhabitants of the land. I was saddened that that is were their mentioned stopped. The rest of the tour focused on people of Spain, England, and France and zero mention of the indigenous people that thrived in the area before their arrival and continued existence. Even when asked directly how the Native Americans fit into the history of the area, it was acknowledged that they existed but were not part of the history. They were present and did their thing while the European counties fought, was the history communicated. With such close ties to UWF, I expected a much more inclusive portrayal of history than what was offered.

Donna gave a great tour with very interesting snippets of history, humor, and highlights from ancient civilizations to present day Pensacola. Very knowledgeable, engaging, and helpful. Highly recommend the tour! Check for tour times!
I had the absolute pleasure of visiting the Pensacola Historic Village yesterday and I was so impressed with the quality and variety of the artifacts that were displayed in the buildings. The various buildings were well maintained and housed an interesting and varied array of furnishings and artifacts.
I was particularly impressed by the number of items displayed in the Museum of Commerce and the Museum of Industry and I almost skipped going in to those buildings and I’m so glad that I didn’t as they were full of wonderful displays and tons of interesting items and facts! I truly was impressed by the countless items on display! It was so amazing!!
I wish that I had timed it so that I could have attended one of the guided tours but we arrived a little late for that. If you attend one of the guided tours you gain access to some of the buildings that are otherwise locked, due to the items that are on display within the buildings. I would recommend that you check the times for the guided tours and plan accordingly as I’m sure they would be very informative.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the historic village and I would highly recommend others to enjoy all that it has to offer!! There is so much information that one can learn from visiting!
