A hidden Old Florida oasis in the heart of Fort Pierce 🎨 Step into the courtyard where the custom brick pavers lay, and discover a space designed for reflection, storytelling, and community.

Beneath the shade of a majestic oak tree, engraved brick pavers honor the individuals, families, businesses, and supporters helping preserve the legacy of the Florida Highwaymen. Nearby, beautiful mosaic benches created by local artist Anita Prentice offer a place to pause and take in the surroundings.

Together, these elements create an authentic Old Florida setting—where art, history, nature, and community come together in one special place.

Visit us Saturdays and Sundays from 12–4 PM and experience the courtyard for yourself.

Someone paid $40 for this Harold Newton painting at a sale in St. Louis. This week on Antiques Roadshow, it was appraised at $10,000 – $15,000.
The Florida Highwaymen were 26 African American artists from Fort Pierce, FL who painted Florida’s landscapes and sold them roadside in the 1950s-70s. For many, it was paint or pick citrus. They chose to create.
Today their work is called “The Last Great Art Movement of 20th Century America” — and the world is finally catching up.
Come see their story where it all began.
