What a neat piece of history on the island. The home was once on the end of the pier. After the home was blown into the bay it was moved to another location on the island and remained for 75 years. Truly amazing for a wood structure. Then the community came to the rescue and moved it to its present location on N Shore where it’s available for viewing anytime from the outside or 3 hrs a day during the week. Lots of folks deserve credit for rehabbing the home. And the jail is original. Pretty cool.
This was a cute little free museum. Lots of artifacts and history. There is a tiny gift store, too. The volunteer working there was super friendly and helpful. She gave us tips on where to eat that paid off! The jail is interesting and offers free air conditioning! Oh and there are some movies that were in part filmed on Anna Maria Island. Might be fun to watch them for your trip. See photos for the movie names.
A great little museum and the lady did a good job at sharing the history.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitPrice for adult entryFree
Cute little photo opp just for fun. Took my mom and we both enjoyed itVisited onWeekday
Neat little museum is in walking distance or short car drive from many of the rental homes. Free admission; donations welcomed. Lots of information and relics inside the air-conditioned main building. Outside offers an old jail, garden, and 1925 house. You can tour the inside of house with a museum associate. House is 1 BR, but packed with lots of items, too. Interesting place to learn the beginnings of the Island. Staff is very friendly.
Visited November of 2021. Was passing thru Sarasota en-route to Ana Maria Island. On the 2nd day on the island me and my family visited the old city jailhouse, very much "still" intact. Highly recommend to visit this piece of history if in the area. Just make sure to bring yourself and an empty drive to take plenty of photos : And don't forget to walk past behind the jailhouse as you will find a different spot to take photos with your friends, family and loved ones.
Neat place. I love when you can find history and have fun at same time.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
What a cute museum and comical jail.
Neat little museum that tells you about the history of Anna Maria Island. Free entry donations accepted. A guide was there for questions. Really awesome collection of everyday artifacts from old island inhabitants. Could be a great learning opportunity for kids about how life used to be back in the day. Had a small souvenir/gift shop. The jail cell outside is a great photo opportunity. There is a small cabin next door too that is set up how it would have been in the past. Great stop for families or anyone interested in times past. Will put things into perspective on how far we've come when you're surrounded everywhere else by the commercial touristy aspects of the island.
Check for the hours open. Comprehensive history of island life as it was in yesteryear. Terrific curated exhibits and a cottage that fell onto the bay and was transported to the island by barge. Fun learning island history.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
