The beautiful Historic Cocoa Village……

City of Cocoa, FL.

One of the first buildings you will see entering the historical village from the marina is the S. F. Travis Hardware store.  The company has been at that location since 1885 for all of your hardware needs.  We did go inside and look around.  Not expansive like a HomeDepot but it had some unique gadgets and doodads that you don’t normally see in a larger hardware store.

Murals are on many of the building walls.  Some were quite nice.

The Black Tulip Restaurant

This restaurant had a nice courtyard in front of the mural.  A vegetable garden as well.  We saw cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, brussels sprouts, peas, and herbs.  Too small a garden to really supply the restaurant with all their needs.  But nice to see.  The only vegetable missing was broccoli.  Broccoli is a good cold weather vegetable to grow.

On the front side of the Brevard County Tourism Development office you can find:

Very nicely done!  Very crafty, don’t you think?  How’s this to advertise your Artist Co-op?!  Love the colors.

And down the road next to the ice cream place you will find a stair case…

All very tastefully done.  Delightful since it is right next to the double scoop in a waffle cone place!

Have you figured out that there is an ice-cream place right next door?  Well, our freezer is really small on the boat.  No room for decadance or sweet tooth satisfying treats.  You take advantage of an ice-cream place when you see it!
