Sams House at Pine Island Conservation Area
From Ice Age animals to Native Americans to Early Pioneers, Pine Island Conservation Area has a rich history. Come inside the oldest standing home in Brevard County, the 1875 Sams family cabin. Travel back in time here and along the paved trail where interactive exhibits highlight Pine Island’s many past inhabitants. Artifacts like mastodon tusks, pottery sherds, and 19th century farm tools found within the Pine Island Conservation Area help piece together the story of this special place.
Enjoy a walk through a mangrove swamp and live oak hammock to reach the Indian River Lagoon, or hike the rugged Garnet Trail north to the Pine Island Road trailhead. Wading birds, bald eagles, alligators and bobcats are just a few of the animals that you may see. The Environmentally Endangered Lands Program and the St. Johns River Water Management District jointly own the approximately 900-acre Pine Island Conservation Area which includes the Sams House Education and Management Center.
