"Extremely well put together, informative and well located. The two ladies who were working there were very knowledgeable and friendly."
"What a history lesson! I live in Tierra Verde and found much information about my area. It is housed in an old church which is a lesson by itself. Free admission, open Fri-Sat-Sun. They have a website. Going to sunset party at the beach? They are a 1 min walk from Paradise Grill."
"Very interesting museum right off the beach. Learn about the history of the area including schools where you wore your swim suit to class. And did you know Babe Ruth spent time in the area. Very nice volunteer gave us the overview of the museum before we started looking around. Don't miss this if you want to learn more about the area! Plus, it is free!"
"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."
"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."
