Historical Society of Palm Beach County and the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum
The Historical Society of Palm Beach County was formed in 1937 and opened the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum in March 2008 within the historic 1916 Courthouse in downtown West Palm Beach at 300 North Dixie Highway. The county-wide history museum enriches the lives of children and adults alike by making local history accessible, interesting and meaningful. The Museum contains two permanent exhibit galleries, one rotating temporary exhibit gallery, and the historic courtroom, where lectures and presentations are held.
