👍👍 Beautiful place with extremely knowledgeable staff. If you’re lucky enough to stop by when Scott is around (and not being undercover Ant Man), he’ll give you a thoughtful & enthusiastic explanation of the history behind each piece that will surely enhance your Key West experience. Thanks all!

Other senses are drawn in with sounds and sensations you may have felt if you were a...

👍👍 Highly recommend this, Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable about the city. Father is an extreme history buff and usually ends up becoming the tour guide on these things.

All 3 rooms were full of history, well put together, comfortable and spacious. High ceilings, antique furniture, and beautiful...

👍👍 This was such a great experience! It has some really neat artifacts and information. My 11 year old wanted to go for her birthday, and even though we're local, we'd never been.

👍👍 This is an East Texas hidden gem! The museum is amazing, capturing the horror of that terrible day of Thursday afternoon, 18 March 1937. It wonderfully presents the school, the event, and life in the late 1930s. They have a great deal of high school memorabilia and items that reflect on early-mid 20...
