I have visited· I would like to visit
bat400 couldn't find on 1st Sep 2009 I drove passed this site multiple times without knowing it (while hunting for it!) Despite the pond's location directly along a paved road through a housing estate, there is no place to stop and look at the pond without walking through a private home's back garden or "bushwacking" through Florida underbrush. As described in the site listing, you are better off visiting the Brevard County History and Science Museum and asking them if any visits to the site are planned.
A National Register of Historic Places site. Although the Windover Bog is on private land, the site in under county management. However, there is no interpretive information and no immediate access to the site. With no parking, and surrounded by private homes, the casual visitor is possibly better off waiting for a rare visit to the site organized by the Brevard County History and Science Museum which has an exhibit describing the many finds from the Windover site.
The North Brevard Business Directory also includes a webpage on the site.
The Archaeology Conservancy has purchased a buffer zone of land surrounding the existing pond in other to better protect the site and prevent encroachment of housing development.
Note: Archaeology Conservancy buys land surrounding 7000 year old Florida burial pond. See comments.
