7. Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts — Exploring Central Florida’s civil rights history
Named for famed author Zora Neale Hurston, who made her home in Eatonville and set many of her stories there, the museum’s mission is to showcase works from artists of African descent. The art, including permanent exhibits and loaned works, includes paintings, sculptures and photography from a variety of time periods. The museum also hosts seasonal exhibitions. Hurston, who was also an anthropologist, wrote numerous works on the subject of racial strife in the early 20th century, including four novels, the best-known of which is “Their Eyes Were Watching God.”
