Halifax Historical Society

n
   Residents of Daytona Beach have contributed treasures and artifacts to fill this little museum with snippets of history. The museum is housed in the beautiful 1910 Merchants Bank building which features stain glass windows and huge murals along one wall.

   The accessible entrance is at the rear of the building. Follow the sidewalk to the right (north) until you come to a passageway. Follow that to the rear of the building. Be patient after ringing the bell because it may take awhile for the museum staff to get to the door. The first floor is accessible. The second floor is accessed by stairs only.

   The only parking is along the street in short pull-in spaces but the library and City Island Park, just across the Halifax River, has a very large lot. It’s an easy walk/roll to the museum. For a longer stroll-three miles round trip- follow the wide, flat, paved trail that meanders through Riverfront Park.  Museum
