Why is a history museum important?

Historical museums are places where people can explore their past and better understand their present. They are a way to see how history has shaped the community, its people and its environment. The museums and archives in Florida’s historic towns are filled with artifacts that provide a glimpse into the past. Visitors learn about the people who lived here, their accomplishments and how the community has changed over time. These museums help us to discover and celebrate the legacy of our own communities. Historical museums also serve as a reminder that history is not only the study of the past, but also of the present. Through the exhibits and collections, visitors can be reminded of the importance of preserving our state’s heritage and of the role that museums play in preserving Florida’s history.
