| The
Preservation and Education Trust, Inc.(PET), is a not-for
profit 501(c)(3) organization that was formed to preserve
and maintain “Lawndale” the historic Williams Homestead
at 1219 Rockledge Drive in Rockledge, Florida. Recently, the
world famous Windover Archeological Site in Titusville, Florida
was donated to PET. |

Lawndale
Once
restored the Lawndale site will be opened as a living history
museum so that visitors can learn what it was like to live
in Brevard County in the late 1800’s. Lesson plans
are being developed in conjunction with Brevard County schools
so that students will have their history lessons enhanced
with on-site visits as well as classroom studies.

Windover
Archaeological Site is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places and is also designated a National Historic
Landmark. Preservation and Education Trust, Inc. intends
to preserve the site as a nature preserve. Within the next
year educational panels describing the archeological significance
will be placed at the site. The burial pond will remain
untouched, but a nature trail will wind though the beautiful
canopy of oaks ending at the adjoining 680-acre Bird Lake
Marsh where the Florida Audubon Society has expressed an
interest in constructing a bird watching platform.
