This very nicely done, small museum covers the county history including information about Fort Pierce United States Naval Amphibious Training Base which was the beginning of the Navy Seals. Displays about Native Americans, fishermen, pineapple farmers and pioneer families fill the rest of the museum. Outdoor displays include informative signs, farm equipment, antique vehicles, a WWII landing craft and a 1907 house.
The museum is accessible but the entrance and exit doors have steep, short ramps making navigation difficult with a wheelchair. Several areas of the museum have sections of flooring that is slightly higher which necessitates a slightly abrupt jump up or drop down. The house has a lift that requires getting a key from the museum volunteers which we didn't bother to do. It looked pretty old and rusty so it may not work.
The lot is fairly large. RVs can be backed up to overhang the grassy areas or parked lengthwise taking up several spaces. Museum
