The Florida State Museum in downtown pensacola is a fascinating trip back in History to the days of Spanish Explorers and Native Americans. Each exhibit from the narrated ship's ballast to the French pottery atrifacts is well done. Each artifact is labeled with its origin date, circumstance under which it was found and in some cases anecdotal notes simply make... More

We were totally charmed by this museum, which highlights some of the collection of TT Wentworth, a local businessman/hoarder who struck me as being very much like a civic-minded Robert Ripley (of Ripley's Believe It or Not fame). They've done a great job of keeping it educational and fun. More

We stopped into this museum before we left Pensacola and it was very interesting! The bottom floor tells all about the history of the area and has a lot of interesting artifacts. My kids (5 & 7) surprisingly were really fascinated by it. The second floor had several different collections that were pretty neat, too, and worth a walk through.... More

This is a wonderful museum housed in a beautiful, old building which was once City Hall in the heart of downtown Pensacola. We learned so much about the history of the oldest settlement in the U.S. in this well-organized and intriguing collection of memorbilia. What a wonderful gift to the community is the extensive collection amassed by T.T. Wentworth, who... More

The T.T. Wentworth Jr. Museum is different from other museums. It is small town master piece. The have all sorts of oddities, the best being the dead, dried-up cat that was found between the walls of a building. The upstairs has an entire room of CocaCola products, like old vending machines and different bottles. There is also a make believe... More

Best exhibit is about the Spanish galleon recovered in Pensacola Bay. Other exhibits are interesting and range from historic to just fun. More

A great place to visit on a rainy day if you are visiting for our beaches. Located in an area surrounded by restaurants and other small museoms so you can plan to spend a nice morning or afternoon. More
