Historical Museum of Southern Florida, Miami

Today, I visited 3 Florida Attractions.

First, the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. I was greeted by Bob McCammon, President & CEO of the museum, and Kristie , the facility’s Marketing Manager. After our meeting, I toured the museum.

There were a number of children from a local elementary school who were rotating through teaching stations around the museum with talented guides engaging the students
in interactive lessons on the history of southern Florida.

The museum features a display on the Miami Circle. A new museum facility is in the planning stages for Bicentennial Park site in Miami. The expansion will present the story of how and why southern Florida became an international community.

The lobby features drawing by Florida everglades native Rob Storter. His drawings offer a glimpse into life in the ‘Glades during the early part of the 20th century.

The Historical Museum of Southern Florida is a great facility, and an asset to the citizens of Miami-Dade and all of South Florida.
