State Park: History, Picnic, Walk
The Ybor City Museum State Park takes you back to when Tampa was known as the “Cigar Capital of the World.” This urban park is dedicated to the preservation of Ybor City’s unique cultural heritage. The museum, housed in the historic Ferlita Bakery, traces the rich cultural history of Ybor City and the cigar making industry. The museum has self-guided exhibits, with written and audio information, and a video presentation. La Casita, a restored cigar worker’s house, is open for viewing 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Guided tours are available Monday through Saturday. The ornamental garden can be rented for events after regular park hours. Located at the corner of 9th Avenue and 19th Street in Tampa.
