The '''Historic Pensacola Village''' is a collection of 22 historical buildings and museums<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20050305123813/http://uwf.edu/president/ UWF Office of the President]</ref> owned and operated by the [[University of West Florida]]. The organization is largely based upon the donation of [[T.T. Wentworth]]'s large historical collection to the state of Florida, and the establishment of an organization dedicated to Historic Preservation that grew because of Mr. Wentworth's generosity. The Village is located in [[Downtown Pensacola]], situated between [[Plaza Ferdinand VII]] and [[Seville Square]]. Parking is available behind the [[T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum|T.T. Wentworth Museum]].

*[[T.T. Wentworth Jr. Florida State Museum]]
==Administration==
The museum complex is largely run by a small UWF staff, some hired UWF students, and many volunteers. Due to funding issues, the Village was acquired by the University of West Florida in 2001. Before that, their funding came from the Florida Department of State. The complex is now technically owned by "[[West Florida Historical Preservation, Inc.]]," a "support organization for the [[University of West Florida]]."
