A small but very interesting museum on discovering a painter’s life. Connected to a great group of local artists called the Highwaymen. Located in a great area, plenty of free parking, near the water and across from the Manatee house.

The market is located right next to the waterfront in Fort Pierce. So many food and craft vendors. You can get anything from baked goods, guacamole and salsa, smoothies, crab cakes, breakfast, popcorn, fresh fruits and vegetables. One place we tried for baked goods which I can't remember the name but they had breads and muffins and cookies and their coconut macaroons were to die for. The fresh guacamole was also very delicious. Then on the other side all the craft vendors are set up and there are t-shirts, dresses, purses, jewelry, paintings, you name it. A fun place to check out if you're in the area. It's every Saturday morning.
