About Anna Maria Island Historical Society Museum

The museum occupies a building that began in 1920 as an icehouse and later served as an auto garage, a sea turtle hatchery, and a public administration office. Since 1992 the City of Anna Maria has leased the building to the Anna Maria Island Historical Society, which runs it as a museum. The site lists seasonal opening hours, with the museum closed on Sundays, Mondays, and throughout September.
