"What a wonderful, educational and delightful place to visit! We were greeted with a warm welcome from Eric Daily, museum guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and answered our questions with a smile. The museum is filled with so many interesting items, there is something for everyone and it is hands on! This museum is free, donations are accepted but not required. I highly recommend a visit to Orange Beach History Museum!"

"While the actual museum is rather limited, the keeper's account of the hurricane and oil spill was most informative. The museum had a few unique things. I enjoyed the visit. The history of the area was cool too."

"This was a delightful little outing with my family. The picturesque schoolhouse contains a wonderfully eclectic collection of locally donated artifacts and items spanning from a 500 year old dugout canoe to a washboard donated in 1994 when a local resident finally purchased a washer. My children were assured that everything was interactive and “touchable”…. except the taxidermy otter…he might bite! We were welcomed by the docent who enthusiastically shared information with us and allowed my son to ring the school bell! After perusing the somewhat quirky and fun museum, we went directly across the parking lot to try our hand at horseshoes under the shade trees."

"We stopped in on a whim because it was something FREE to do on our trip here, and it was better than some paid museums we’ve visited! The guide Eric was very knowledgeable and willing to share info on all of the items in there from sea creatures & wildlife, to the schoolhouse & local history, to WW2 artifacts. If you really take the time to stop and look, there is a lot to see in this little schoolhouse ☺️"

"It was a brief but interesting stop! It is an educational attraction to fill 30-60 minutes, and it's FREE! The docent gave a short introductory and was available for any questions. The museum is in an original one room schoolhouse that has been relocated to the current situation and it includes local artifacts and memorabilia from prehistoric to recent times. It's a very eclectic mix of exhibits, so I think everyone is bound to find something that appeals to them."
