Muscogee Nation of Florida Tribal Museum - Objective: By the end of Year 3, Muscogee Nation of Florida will have a 2400 sq ft renovated building converted to a Tribal Museum to protect and preserve MNOF's history for 604 Tribal Citizens, visitors to the area, and future generations. Summary: The Muscogee Nation of Florida proposes to create a comprehensive Tribal Museum to address the preservation of tribal knowledge and historical artifacts. The project will convert an existing 2400 square foot building into a museum space that will house historical documents, artifacts, and interactive exhibits. The museum will serve as an educational center for the 604 tribal citizens and visitors to the area, with a goal of increasing cultural awareness from the current 18% to achieve a 50% improvement.
