Plantation Historical Museum

The museum is small but beautiful. Today we visited their Christmas trees display. The children and I had a great time and will go back again. If you are in the area we highly recommend.

What a nice time and such lovely staff.they always have great programs

The historical museum had its humble beginnings in a back room of city hall. In 1985 the museum opened behind the library in the Plantation Botanical Gardens. The museum contains an annex dedicated to the history of the Plantation fire department.

Permanent displays in the museum include exhibits on the Tequesta and Seminole Indians, fire and police department memorabilia, an Everglades diorama, and information about the towns founding families. The museum also hosts temporary exhibits. The current one, America in the 1960’s will be on display until October 5, 2019. The museum hosts many events and speakers throughout the year. A complete schedule can be found on the museum’s website. Admission to the museum is free.

The Plantation Historical Society again did a great job mounting and showcasing a comprehensive exhibit of a momentous period in US and world history in a way that a hundred years later we can relate to in a very human and visceral way. This World War I exhibit encompasses all aspects of life, not only in the trenches, but what was happening on the home front. Most if not all the many great items are on loan from locals. This is a must-see for all history buffs. As other visitors have also noted, the volunteer staff are the very best hosts, friendly and knowledgeable.

This a beautiful and educational museum in plantation. The staff are very friendly and admission is always free. They also have a gift shop with very reasonable prices. This is a great place for the entire family to enjoy
