Good exhibit of Trader Jon's

The exhibit of Trader Jon's was the main draw for us. It was interesting to see a partial recreation of the bar with many of the original artifacts. I particularly liked the video of Trader Jon.

Nice place to visit on rainy day

I enjoyed that they perceived the old "Trader Jon's" bar and all the Navy memorabilia. Lot of other displays of the history of Pensacola from the native American's to the present

So many things to see

The museum is a very nice way to spend hours looking at Pensacola's history. The new "Trader Jon's" exhibit is fun even if you aren't a naval aviator.
