Museum of Florida History

042
    We like to visit state capitols and go to the museum for an overview of the state’s history. This is a pretty good one but strangely it doesn’t have a single exhibit about anything that happened after WWII and a lot has happened in Florida since WWII ! The exhibits that they do have are excellent though.

The museum is handicapped accessible. The top floor of the riverboat exhibit has a narrow staircase. There’s a book with photographs and information if you can’t get up there to see the exhibit. The Grandma’s Attic , a dress up and play area for children, has a small elevator that the staff will operate for you if you want to visit the attic.

  RVs may be parked in the Civic Center lot, a little west, at the corner of South Macomb Street and West Pensacola Street. The walk from the parking lot to the museum is a long uphill with uneven and steep curb cuts. Almost every wheelchair user will need help. There’s a good drop off spot right in front of the museum if you want to avoid the push up the hill. Florida Museum
