If you'd like to learn more about the history of Daytona Beach this is the place to go. The museum is housed in a gorgeous old bank building and is staffed by knowledgable friendly staff. Tons of artifacts from all periods of time covering racing and everything else. Take the time to watch the informative video. The two bank vaults... More

Beyond NASCAR, there were other versions of Daytona...named after Mr Day who went bankrupt and then left town. Symbolic of Florida in so many ways. Two story museum in old bank with Tiffany skylights. More

If you don't want to go to the International speedway you can still find out about the Daytona racing here. This museum has a little something about the history of the area from the time of the Indians to the present. More

Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate so we looked for other ways to entertain ourselves and stumbled upon this terrific little gem of a museum.

Small museum inside an old bank. Historic downtown, alot of buildings have the designation on them. Really cool looking. If you're a history buff lots of things to pore over, I only stayed half an hour. Not too interested in racing and other things there, but there is something for everyone, I think. The murals alone are awesome. Just 5... More

We went go this museum a couple years ago on rainy summer day. The staff was friendly and the exhibits were very nice. They have a very small gift shop with some donated items. Nice way to spend a rainy afternoon. More
