The lady who met us at the door has lived in the area most of her life and walked us through, giving us a lot of local stories and history. We really enjoyed her and the museum.Go if you like to know the history of the places you visit.

If you like history...and you like well done museums that cover local history...then take the time to stop in here.I don't know who put this place together because IRB is not a big place. But it's first class all the way around.The exhibits are well done...very "professional" in the sense that it's not just a bunch of stuff laying around...but professionally presented and displayed.And it's very interesting. Lots of Indian background. Lots of Florida Pioneer stuff. Cool inside (temperature cool)... built in an old historic house from the area. Very clean. Very nice. If you like history you could easily spend 1-3 hours in there.Hours are limited. 10-2 Wednesday through SaturdayIf you live in the area, they do have special events on a regular basis.If you are staying at IRB or close by...it's a great way to spend some time. Located behind some good restaurants. ( Right behind Crabby Bills on Gulf BLvd) so you can combine them. Self guided tours...everything clear and easy. May not always be open on the hours they say because it's staffed by volunteers.And you can turn it into a day trip if you want...about 10 l fun restaurants within a block or two...including Impressive Designs which is a cool store with lots of florida art and they sell florida wine. Also the Holiday Inn next door. Lots to do

My husband and I visited this museum and really enjoyed it. There were so many interesting facts about Indian Rocks Beach that we weren't aware of until we came here. The photos and artifacts were so interesting and very well preserved. This is a great attractions filled with so many interesting facts. ...a must see.

Came up the Gulf Drive for a ride. Stop in the area for a bite to eat ( good food in the area). Stopped in for a break and was pleasantly surprised with what I found. First the folks here are GREAT. Nice to talk to. Great knowledge of the area. The pictures and displays were well done. I must say I was amazed at what I learned in a short period of time. I will be back with my grand kids. Thank you for the great visit.

Great local knowledge about the area. It's free and doesn't take much time. I would visit the museum again.

This little spot has limited hours but packs a wallop if you are able to visit. Locals have worked hard to preserve the history of the area with motel postcards, news clippings, lots of displays, photos and many notebooks to search if you are looking for something specific. It's nice to get a sense of what Indian Rocks used to be. Thanks to everyone for collecting all of these wonderful memories.

Much larger and has a lot of history. Many pictures showing the history of Indian Rocks and the surrounding areas. Mementos of many attractions. Also, a lot of information about the bridges connecting Indian Rocks thru the years.

Visited on a rainy day before the sky's cleared for a Phillies spring traing game. Always like to know the history of a place I visit and this is one of the best local museums I have been to. Read each of the displays within an hour. Museum is in the relocated house of a prominent citizen of the town which makes it very interesting. Indian Rocks Beach has an interesting history and is my favorite place in the Tampa Bay area

My wife and I were in town to get married on the beach and were staying at the nearby Holiday Inn Resort. We decided to stop in at the museum on the very day the members were holding their annual meeting. We were graciously allowed in and were invited to stay for a very interesting presentation of the Native history of IRB. We were even invited to partake in their potluck luncheon spread, which we declined due to time constraints. All in all, it was a wonderful place to spend a couple of hours with a bunch of interesting and gracious local members for which we thank you all.

I loved all the displays that were there. There was even a portrait of my fiancé with a Tarpon as a small boy on the old Indian Rocks Pier that was destroyed in 1985 by a Hurricane.
