About The Moseley House Museum

The Moseley House Museum preserves the 1888 home of Jim and Matilda Clark Moseley in Eatonville, Florida, one of the town's second oldest structures. Visitors explore early Eatonville memorabilia displayed throughout the restored house, learning about the area's history. The museum holds particular significance as the home of Miss Tillie Moseley, best friend of author, anthropologist, and folklorist Zora Neale Hurston, who frequently visited and grew up in Eatonville. The house, restored as of 2000, is maintained by the Zeta Educational Thespian Association and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. A visit suits those interested in local history, African American heritage, and the literary legacy of Zora Neale Hurston. The museum connects visitors to Eatonville's cultural past and the community that shaped one of America's significant writers.
