Museums
The museum is an official Welcome Center for the City of Tarpon Springs. It emphasizes the important role the railroad played in the growth of the town. The front rooms of the building have been restored to “be as they were” when it was a working railroad station. The rest of the facility contains exhibits on education, health care, local institutions, and many more. The historical society has developed a history hunt for the kids or the “kids at heart” to utilize for exploring the museum.
