The Peacock Lodge
telling the history of Port St. Lucie
After preservation work was completed on the Historic Peacock Lodge, the lodge was awarded the 2025 Restoration, Rehabilitation or Adaptive Use – Outstanding Achievement Award by the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. The scarcity of extant buildings of this type and its use of indigenous materials, such as old growth pine for framing and flooring, in addition to extensive use of locally sourced cypress used as siding, interior wallboard and interior ceilings makes this building truly a gem. This vernacular wood framed board and batten sided building originally served as a hunting lodge on the 4,600 +/- acre Peacock Ranch. By choosing to relocate and restore this building, the City of Port St. Lucie has contributed to the general awareness of this regions’ unique history. The Port St. Lucie Historical Society moved into the building in late 2024 and now operates the Port St. Lucie History Museum and Education Center, which is open Wednesday – Friday 10am to 4pm and Saturday, 11am to 3pm.
