I was a volunteer a few years ago and it was a fulfilling experience. A visitor is greeted by a knowledgeable docent. Learn about the ecosystem, the native American fisherman. the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the Don Cesar back-in-the-day, to name a few highlights. It is a great place to visit and get out of the sun for a cool... More

A small but well-organized museum of Pass-a-Grille's history. Located in a rustic and cosy former church sandwiched between the Gulf and Tampa Bay, it contains photos, artifacts, and lots of information about this community that dates back 100 years. There are books, gifts, and very helpful docents who will answer questions. The museum has free admission but welcomes donations. Highly... More

Well, in order to understand your place in time, I think it is important to recognize the past. Within just a few moments of looking at pictures, one is juxtaposed as a tourist 100 years ago! This place is magical!

I think this a great small museum tucked away in a small church in Pass A Grille. Gives you a taste of the beach many years ago. It is free and accepts donations.

On arrival at the museum we were greeted by a friendly lady who gave us a brief history of the building and the area of Pass a Grille. We were then left to wander and study the exhibits. An interesting insight of the museum building and town and how they came to be. No admission fee just donations, worth visiting... More

We walked in after a day at the beach just to see what it was. We were surprised for a museum how small it was. My son spotted an old fashion type writer and started typing on it and thought it was incredible. My daughter saw a stamp machine and made 10 stamps on a piece of paper. They have... More
