Exhibits & Events
Upcoming Program:
May 12th, 1:00 pm - Walking Tour of historic Richmond Beach:
In conjunction with the Annual Richmond Beach Strawberry Festival, the Museum will conduct a walking tour of historic Richmond Beach. The walk starts at the front door of the Richmond Beach library at 1:00 PM, commences down the historic stairway, and follows the business district triangle. It takes one hour of fairly arduous walking. Those not wishing to walk the hill may meet the tour at about 1:10 PM at the top of the triangle where NW 195th Pl. and 196th Pl. meet in front of the old library. Comfortable walking shoes are strongly encouraged for this tour.
