The neighboring South Dade towns of Cutler Bay and Palmetto Bay hold a fascinating place in Miami’s history. They tell the tale of pioneer homesteaders developing the land for agriculture, transportation and entrepreneurial pursuits at the turn of the 20th century.
Today, these areas are still ripe for exploration. To get a glimpse into South Dade's pioneering history, visit Cauley Square Historic Railroad Village, which was restored and reconstructed as a charming railroad town square. Here, you can visit antiques shops, art galleries, restaurants and a saloon all shaded by South Dade's lush canopy of trees. The area is also home to sprawling farmland where you can pick your own strawberries at The Berry Farm or learn about agricultural life at The Little Farm. Take your time and soak it all in.
