Chipley Park between Library and Hall of Brotherhood: The Florida Pioneer Family is a ministry-based educational camp using authentic or reproduction materials to show how a family settling the Florida Panhandle might have looked during the 1920s. The setup has living areas, work areas, food, kitchen, and even some recreational activities. Whether it be a traditional settler of the 1920s who came looking for land and wealth or the centuries old Cracker Pioneers who might have simply squatted, the camp is a reflection of those times past when a family would come by wagon, train, or automobile and live off the land while homesteading. Visitors are free to touch items, ask questions, and get a bite to eat by the fire!
Chipley Park behind Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood: This indoor nature trail by the Florida Forest Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) displays the flora and fauna of forests in the state with special emphasis on the historical fact that Arbor Day in Florida was inspired by a presentation in 1885 on the grounds of the historic Florida Chautauqua Assembly in DeFuniak Springs. This tented exhibit sits on the very spot that presentation took place in 1885 which inspired Arbor Day in Florida! For the 2023 Assembly, the Trail will focus on the logging and turpentine industries which were integral to the 1920s economy throughout the Florida Panhandle. 4-H will also be offering Make and Take activities for children!
