Celebrating our 128th annual Pioneer Picnic in 2024!
Celebrating our 128th annual Pioneer Picnic in 2024!
Information regarding our ancestors, the original pioneers of southeast Florida, who are buried under The Norton Museum and possibly Pioneer Memorial Park to the east of the museum. Their families chose not to move their bodies to Woodlawn Cemetery (across Dixie from The Norton) about 1940.
As noted on the plaque to the right, the following pioneers were buried under The Norton Museum or in Pioneer Park. Their bodies were NOT removed for construction. Debate continues as to exactly HOW many pioneers are buried under The Norton, stories say 7-17, this plaque shows 40. Some stories suggest that this plaque references pioneers that may also be buried to the east of The Norton in Pioneer Memorial Park.
