Named in honor of one of the pre-eminent writers of twentieth-century African-American literature, the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts features not only the works of Zora Neal Hurston, a writer, anthropologist and folklorist known for such works as Their Eyes Were Watching God. The museum also showcases the work of other artists of African descent, as well as other historical artifacts (e.g. old photos) of her hometown of Eatonville, Florida. About 20 minutes north of downtown Orlando, the historic town was one of approximately one hundred of communities founded by and for African Americans were established throughout the southern U.S. from the 1880s to the 1930s. In fact, Eatonville was the first incorporated African American town in the U.S. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.
