The Grand Oaks Museum formerly known as the Florida Carriage Museum is located in Weirsdale, Florida. It contains equine-related artifacts and artwork, as well as over 160 antique horse-drawn carriages from Europe and America.[2] The museum is housed at The Grand Oaks Resort, an equestrian boarding and eventing venue. The 400 acre equestrian resort property of which the museum is part, was purchased by Tom Golisano in 2011 [3] and has undergone extensive renovation including the addition of a 45 spot RV Park, the largest covered equestrian arena in Central Florida, a museum gift shop and a cafe style bistro. Once known to be a destination for only carriage driving, the property now hosts many different equestrian athletes in a variety of disciplines. The Grand Oaks Resort is a United States Equestrian Federation accredited training facility.
