Must See
Exhibits!

For over 100 years, the St. Petersburg Museum of History has been sharing the stories of Florida and the Sunshine City — from aviation and baseball to local legends and untold histories.

Now, the Museum is proud to debut Wish You Were Here — a vivid look at how postcards, photographs, and marketing sold St. Petersburg’s sunshine, beaches, and Florida fantasy to the world.

Benoist Society


The Museum’s new premier membership focused on continuing the legacy of preserving St. Petersburg’s history. Named for the iconic airboat that made aviation history on Jan. 1, 1914, when pilot Tony Jannus and passenger A.C. Pheil took off from the Central Yacht Basin and headed to Tampa in the world’s first commercial airline flight.




"[The St. Petersburg Museum of History.] What a pearl that place is, what a gem."
