Taking in Local History at HistoryMiami, Miami, Florida
I鈥檝e been plenty unkind to some of Miami鈥檚聽other museums, but credit where credit is due, HistoryMiami is fantastic.
Maybe I鈥檓 biased because I鈥檓 from Miami, but聽HistoryMiami聽represents local history and culture pretty thoroughly. The museum consists of two buildings, housing several major permanent and temporary exhibits. The museum鈥檚 main exhibit chronicles South Florida history starting with prehistoric times and international wars for ownership of Florida. The immersive and informative displays include old cannons, ships, and replicas of the homes and artifacts used by Native Americans.
It gets really fun when you jump into the 19th century to learn all about the contributions of people whose names are ubiquitous in South Florida. If you鈥檙e not familiar with local Miami history, this is the place to go to find out how Julia Tuttle, Henry Flagler, George Merrick, and Carl Fisher made this city what it is today. You can even board an old tram car, similar to the trolleys you can still聽ride for free聽in Coral Gables. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
