[2] The park encompasses approximately 325.6 acres (1.318 km2), and contains 21 historic buildings and 13 structures, including the family farmhouse, an 1880s kitchen outbuilding, a general store and post office, and a cane syrup complex, all with original furnishings and equipment.

The Dudley Farm historic site is accessible from a trail near the visitor center, leading to a segment of the original, non-paved, Gainesville-Newberry Road.

In 1996, Myrtle Dudley, the youngest and last living member of the third generation, died, leaving the site to the Florida Park Service.

Numerous events of many types, including first and third-person living histories, cane boils, corn grinding, paint-ins, children's days, weddings, and ranger-led tours for visitors and school classes take place throughout the year.

Due to the historic buildings, the Farm is also a popular spot for family and professional photography.
