Not much to see here, but good for a few minutes if you are in "downtown" Fort Walton. More

In the middle of Fort Walton Beach there is an intriguing, small museum highlighting prehistoric peoples who lived in the area. The museum has a number of exhibits including an old schoolhouse, post office and a newly opened Civil War exhibit. The museum which highlights artifacts found at the site is very informative and interesting. Worth a visit. More

Go ahead, try each of the hands-on opportunities - you might discover you have a skill you never knew, or better understand how the local Indians lived centuries ago.

Loved this, too! Very informative and hands-on, and particularly meaningful if you have even a trace of patriotism or Native American blood in your veins. Great for kids- lots of tactile exploration available. More

It rained on the day we toured the museums which actually turned out great! We have school age children and like for them to experience something on vacation besides swimming and video games.
