It was a very good museum with friendly staff and a well laid out thorough presentation. They also had a fine art exhibit following the museum tour (I don't remember who), a place to eat and a gift shop.

This was a very interesting small museum that summarized Florida's history from ancient times to the present. It was al set out in an interesting manner and was very informative. The area that has changing expositions had a lovely montage of paintings by local artists.
