Updated in September 2026, this Historic Pensacola Village guide covers ticket prices, opening hours, parking, accessibility and what to see.
Historic Pensacola Village is a cluster of preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings in downtown Pensacola, Florida, run by the University of West Florida Historic Trust. One $12 adult ticket now covers Historic Pensacola Village and three further museums for seven days, including the Pensacola Museum of Art, which some older guides still list as a separate admission. This guide was updated in September 2026 and reflects that current combined ticket, along with the site’s Monday closure.

What to see at Historic Pensacola Village
The complex spans 8.5 acres and 30 properties, 12 of which are open to the public, showcasing architectural styles from Mediterranean Revival to French Creole and Folk Victorian.
The Pensacola Museum of History, housed in a former city hall, blends T.T. Wentworth Jr.’s eclectic personal collection with a broader look at life across the Florida Panhandle.
Julee Cottage, built around 1805, is named for Julee Panton, a free woman of color who ran a bakery and candle business and, according to tradition, used her earnings to help purchase the freedom of enslaved people.
Old Christ Church, completed in 1832, is one of the oldest surviving church buildings in Florida and was occupied by federal troops during the Civil War.
Dorr House, a Greek Revival mansion, is one of several historic homes included on the guided house tour, alongside the Lavalle House and Lear/Rocheblave House.
Throughout the village, living history interpreters bring Colonial, Victorian, and 1920s Pensacola to life through furnishings and artifacts from a collection of more than 150,000 items.
