The guided historic house tour
The oldest homes and the church open only on the guided tour, which is included with your ticket. It runs Tuesday through Saturday at 11, 1 and 2 from the Museum of Industry entrance and visits the 1805 Lavalle House, the 1832 Old Christ Church, the 1871 Dorr House and the Lear-Rocheblave House from about 1890. Reviewers say it takes about 90 minutes to 2 hours.
RV tip: tours can be canceled for staffing or events, so get your ticket early and confirm the day’s times at the service desk.

Why go
Where America’s first settlement tells its story
Tristán de Luna landed on Pensacola Bay in 1559, and Visit Pensacola calls the city America’s first settlement; Spain resettled it for good in 1698. Under the flags of Spain, France, Britain, the United States and the Confederacy, it became the City of Five Flags.
The village sits inside the footprints of the old Spanish and British forts, in the Pensacola Historic District. It’s run by the University of West Florida Historic Trust, and its 28 properties range from early-1800s cottages to grand public buildings.
For RVers the best part is the ticket: one admission covers the village museums, the Pensacola Museum of History, the Museum of Art and the Children’s Museum for seven days, so you can split the visit across two trips from camp.

For RVers
Taking the rig to Historic Pensacola Village
This one is downtown, so the plan is mostly about where to leave the RV.
Leave the RV at camp
The museums don’t have their own parking, and the streets around the village are narrow, with 2-hour spaces. There’s no posted oversize parking downtown, so come in with your tow vehicle or car.
Know the downtown parking rules
There’s a paid lot at Tarragona and Church streets plus metered street parking. The city planned to restart paid parking on October 5, 2026, after the Palafox Street work, with free parking on Sundays and Mondays, so read the signs.
Time your visit for the tour
The houses and Old Christ Church open only on the guided tours, Tuesday to Saturday. On Sundays only the Museum of History, the Children’s Museum and the Museum of Art are open, noon to 4, with a half-price Sunday ticket.
Pets and accessibility
Service dogs are welcome in the museums, but emotional support animals aren’t. The Museum of History, the Museums of Commerce and Industry and Old Christ Church are fully accessible; the older houses have steps and narrow doors.
