September 28th - Captain Luis Vireilha (presentation title is forthcoming)
October 26th - Robert Jacob presents Blackbeard’s Hidden Treasure: The True Story of Blackbeard the Pirate with Surprising Theories of his Treasure
November 23rd - Musical Box Society International members (and Collection on Palmetto volunteers) Marty and Marilou VanZanten will deliver a presentation on mechanical music boxes. Please join Marty and Marilou as they introduce us to an enchanting and slightly obscure world of automatic musical instruments.
We hope you will join us for all of these presentations. Simply reserve your seat in advance and pay $15 at the door. You may also purchase tickets in advance by calling 727-953-8356. Your ticket includes admission to the museum, presentation, refreshments and a return ticket to the museum that can be used at any time in the future.
Looking for some autumn-themed family fun on October 20th? Stop by our Fourth Annual Fall Festival for an hour or an entire afternoon! We'll open the museum doors to everyone, and we will show you some of our favorite things. . .like the 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen, the first modern car!
If you'd never visited the museum, here's a perfect introduction to what has been called "A Hidden Gem." Plus, we will have engine demonstrations, train rides, food trucks, pumpkins and hay! What more could you want from a fall festival?
