We stopped at the visitor's info center to see if we could pick up some ideas about what to visit while we are in the area. The two women working in reception area were very helpful. Next time through the area we'll take the tour of the museum.
No charge but donations are always welcome. They also have 3 other spots across the way to look at train and house. Good place to spot by if you're in the area
Very nice museum. Good displays. it is free. Highly recommend if you’re in the area to get acquainted with the history. There are also other historical items to see outside across the street.
It's small but unique and fun. We got a children's scavenger hunt where we had to find specific items in the gallery, and we absolutely adored the guided tour of the other buildings. I would highly recommend!
Reggie was our guide. He is very knowledgeable of museum artifacts and local railroad history. Our friend with us is a retired CSX Train Engineer. My father and many family members had railroad jobs and experience. The museum reflects many thinks I remember from my early years about the B & O railroad in Washington Indiana. My wife and I appreciate seeing all the railroad history we seen today.
What a beautiful little surprise as I walked the main road to get to the Goodwill. I didn't even know this was here. Butterflies flying around in the little beautiful garden as a stroll through the outbuildings beautiful 75° day. Pablo and 6th Street between route 90. St Paul's Church It's just what I needed. Really. So much so. I drew a few pieces about it.
I'll probably make a few based on these buildings because I love the location.
I even went back the next day and asked the driver to stop so I could take a few more pictures of the church before I left for NY.

Great place to learn about the beaches history, see exhibitions by local artists and get a guided tour of the historical buildings onsite and the story behind the Florida East Coast Railway.
Cute local museum. Entry is free but donations are appreciated. They have volunteer docents who are available to give tours of the outdoor area, unfortunately we did not have time for this but I plan to return to take one.
