My daughter and I visited this medium-sized museum packed with history of Dayton Beach, Ormond Beach and Port Orange. It started with a 20 minute video, then you were free to explore the museum. Daytona is almost as old as St. Augustine and Jacksonville. The displays were very nice and informative, as was the staff and hostess. Especially interesting was... More 

A great place to learn a little more about Daytona and how it came to be. There is more to Daytona than bike week and the racetrack. It has a rich history and offers so much to the visiting public along with a beautiful beach that doesn't seem to end. The staff and volunteers of the museum are friendly and... More 

Housed in a lovely historic building, this museum has a wonderful display of items outlining local history dating back hundreds of years. Beautiful displays. Very friendly helpful volunteers add to your experience. Good for all ages.

They might benefit more from a docent tour of the dusty items in display cases. The area is rich in history and sadly the museum languishes in its presentation. True there is... More 

History of humans in this area goes back thousands of years...surprised? I was too. Very cool but incredibly small museum. What you see when you walk in is literally the whole place. Worth going once if you've never seen it. Displays are static so little changes. I would say it's a half hour visit.

Rainy day activity. It is worth the time to visit this museum especially on a rainy day. The museum is located in an old bank. Interesting facts and photos about Daytona.

When you walk in, you notice right away that the building is an old bank building by the teller bars on the wall to your left. The architecture is beautiful, there are beautiful murals on the right wall, a wonderful collection of artifacts from the Native Americans all the way up to the two world wars and auto racing.
