Heritage Village is a 21-acre living history museum in Largo, Florida, dedicated to preserving the architectural and social history of Pinellas County. The site features a collection of over 30 historic structures, including homes, a railroad depot, a schoolhouse, a church, and a general store, all relocated to the property to prevent demolition. Many buildings date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, representing the region's agricultural and maritime past. Visitors can walk through landscaped pine and palmetto flatwoods while exploring the preserved interiors of the historic sites. The museum serves as an educational resource, documenting the lives of early pioneers, citrus growers, and settlers. It is managed by Pinellas County as a cultural heritage site.
The front porch of the historic McMullen-Coachman Log Cabin provides a classic, unobstructed view of the pioneer-era architecture.
