Initially situated in Clearwater, the Turner Bungalow was gifted to Pinellas County in 2014 by Geraldine “Jere” Turner to celebrate her family’s history.
Restoration efforts took place from 2021 to 2023, preserving the bungalow’s original features such as the flooring, fireplace, walls and woodwork.
The exhibit itself offers a window into the Turners’ daily lives, reflecting the 1940s—a time of growth and change for the family.
The Heritage Village museum is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is free and open to all.
