This museum is in the old building that once housed the PASS-A-GRILLE Community Church. Very nice collection and worth a visit.

My husband grew up on St. Pete Beach. The museum volunteer was very helpful, showing him photo albums from the local schools. He found his picture in one of the albums!

All volunteer run! Was so glad to find this little museum which had so many interesting photos, antiques and history of St. Pete's Beach. Offered more historical info about the famous Don Cesar hotel than the hotel offers! Worth the visit if you're in the area.

It was a short walk from our condo and the volunteers made us feel very welcomed. An interesting place to visit if you're already at Pass-a-Grille. It was free, but donations accepted. They even offered us to take a few shells for free. Small place so doesn't take much time.

We went here on a rainy day to kill some time and it definitely exceeded our expectations (which were admittedly low). Interesting to see what the area looked like a century ago and how much it has changed. My husband and I could have spent even more time there - but our 10 year old was antsy. Not a whole... More

It was a cloudy day and was the best time to go to the museum. I enjoyed all the areas and would return again. Everyone that worked there was more then friendly and ready to answer any questions you my have.
