About Tarpon Springs Heritage Museum
Whenever you visit a new city, or perhaps even live in a city, you might not really think about how that city came to be as it is today. Well, in Tarpon Springs, you are in luck because the Tarpon Springs Heritage Museum was created to allow families to explore that very thing!
The Tarpon Springs Heritage Museum is located in Craig Park, right on the beautiful Spring Bayou.
Once a library, this museum now explores the development of Tarpon Springs itself - right back from prehistoric times, through to WWII. Now, that's quite a lot of history!
It's great for kids to explore as they can actually see what the city used to be like through vintage photography - part of it's own exhibit of the city. There is also a native American presentation, and a film (16 minutes in length) that can let you explore other areas of the city's history.
Tarpon Springs Heritage Museum has a fascinating exhibit also on the Greek Community. This permanent exhibition explores the culture and history of the Greek community, including religion, celebrations, and traditions.
