Field Manor is one of Merritt Island, Florida's most historic structures. Our docents are tasked with the responsibility of sharing the legacy of the Field family and the impact they had on Florida's agricultural growth. They are the public face of our Field Manor Foundation, and are responsible for guiding all of our guests around the homestead property, providing each group with a unique experience. Docents will receive a training manual and are required to attend training sessions in order to learn the homestead's information and basic museum procedures.
Time commitment is exceedingly flexible. Contact us to learn more.

Mission Statement
The purpose of Field Manor Foundation is to educate Brevard County residents and visitors about the agricultural and social history of Field Manor, through its preservation and operation, educational programming, and museum collections.
Description
Field Manor is the oldest house originally built on Merritt Island. The homestead dates to 1880-2, although the Field family landed much earlier, in 1868. Today, the home is open to the public as a historic house museum, serving as an educational resource for Brevard County, FL. We have 45 acres of citrus grove as well, plus 320 ft of continuous waterfront. Field Manor also serves as an event venue. We hope to provide insight into the social and agricultural history of central Florida by telling the Field story.
