The Ybor City Museum State Park, housed in the historic Ferlita Bakery, traces the heritage of Ybor City and its cigar making industry.

The brick building where the Ferlita family opened their bakery in 1896 contains permanent exhibitions on Vicente Martinez Ybor, the founding of Ybor City and its early history, the cigar industry, the social clubs and the bakery itself. The self-guided exhibits trace the cultural history of Ybor City from its beginning in 1886 with written and audio information and a video presentation.
