What a wonderful place to visit...its free, donations excepted. Very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers
Take an hour and drop by this museum. It's got some Esther Williams paraphanelia. We learned a lot of interesting history of the island.
The Island has a "quaint old fashioned feel about it". With it's pleasant houses and streets, to it's old fishing pier. A nice place to relax and while away a few hours.
We decided to visit the museum to find out more about the island. Info great and an enjoyable scavenger hunt for the kids. Staff engaged with us and very informative. A real must do activity if visiting Anna Maria island.
We called in to the museum on the last day of our holiday and were pleasantly surprised. Lovely gentleman was there to tell us all about the history of AMI. Don't miss out on a visit to the city jail - no roof, no windows just mossies to eat the occasional prisoner. Worth a visit.
We started our visit with a drop in here. The women who work here can explain the displays or tell you more about what you should see while on the island. Interesting. Small place, doesn't take long to look around.
We stopped in one day on our way back to our place. It was very interesting to here the history of the island and the little house that was part of the city pier.
Learn about the history of Anna Maria Island, Take photos at the old jail, purchase some old settler's bread, tour the property-- a wonderful experience -- no visit to Anna Maria is complete without a visit here
