Very nice free museum plus one hour free parking when you ask for a street pass. The museum has lots of detailed history of the surrounding area. If you are already in the area it’s definitely worth stopping.the nearby beach is very nice.
An excellent presentation of old Florida life in the region from local down to earth people to grand hotels. All being preserved and presented by volunteers.
Accidentally found out about my mother's family history by seeing Zephaniah Phillips on the historic plaque. I came back with ancient newspaper clippings the ladies at the museum copied. They were so sweet and directed us to Frank Hurley's office. He was quite hospitable & graciously autographed a couple of books he'd written about the area.
Small museum packed with tons of history from the Gulf beaches and surrounding area. Staffed by dedicated volunteers who have lived in the area and know the history.nAnd on top of all that it is free. Be sure to get a parking pass good for 1 hour, parking is tight on Passe Grille.
I have been to the museum twice. It offers a great deal of historical information regarding coastal Pinellas County. From old documents to photographs to artifacts found on land and water. Seeing the old maps of Pinellas mangroves and orange groves to what it has now become is a bit sad. The WW2 room was my favorite. The museum can be done in 15 minutes for a quick walk through to it being a hours long excursion-it just depends on how much you want to delve into it. The volunteer docents are knowledgeable and are eager (sometimes too eager) to answer any questions. They also have free bags of goodies for children which was a nice touch.
