Halifax Historical Museum
A local history museum housed in a 1910 bank building. It showcases early beach racing, Indigenous artifacts and the city's transformation.
The museum occupies the former Merchants Bank building in the Beach Street historic district. It retains its neoclassical façade and stained-glass skylights. The exhibits cover the Timucuan people, the Spanish colonial and plantation eras, beach racing and land speed records, and early resort hotels. There is also a large model of the Daytona Beachwalk. Admission is low, and about an hour is enough to see everything. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Beach Street nearby has cafés and a chocolate factory, so you can make a stop of it.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 10:00–16:00
