It is the oldest standing house in Brevard County dating back to 1875 and located at the Pine Island Conservation Area managed by the Brevard County's Environmentally Endangered Lands Program and the St. Johns River Water Management District [1]. This house was built by John Hanahan Sams in Eau Gallie and transported to Merritt Island by way of the Indian River Lagoon[2]. Exhibits cover Ice Age animals, Indigenous peoples, pioneers, and Florida's environment[3]. Exhibits are indoors and outdoors and highlight findings from the paleontological and archaeological excavations that have occurred on the property[4]. Findings from the archaeological excavations date back to 5,000 BC to 2,500 AD and there is a burial mound on the property[5]. Sams House offers programs, events, and volunteer opportunities.
