The following programs and events are open to the public and free of charge:
The Dixie Highway’s path through Polk was a combination of dirt, brick and crudely paved roads. Drivers entered the county north through Loughman and exited south through Fort Meade. With the new-and-improved roads came Tin Can tourists, a new group of motorists, living for weeks or months out of their vehicles and consuming meals of canned food. The Dixie Highway welcomed Tin Can tourists to Florida and facilitated a new era of roadside attractions. Our large panel displays chronicle the transformative role of the Dixie Highway on the cultural and physical landscape of Florida, and highlights the early history that continues through cherished community memories. The Tin Can Tourism exhibit features vintage maps and automobile artifacts, including the first license plate issued in Polk County.
