New Smyrna Beach Museum of History
Our museum is a historical museum dating back to pre-historic to present day. One of the galleries is devoted to the Turnbull Settlement which arrived in the new world and Florida in 1768. This was the largest British colonization attempt in the new world, exceeding Jamestown and only one in Florida. Our goal is to educate the visiting public of this rich history and also to get it into the school system. We have prepared DVD's telling the story which meets the Sunshine State Education standards. This exhibit is an interactive media, with both Video and art graphics telling the story. The perimeter gallery is a time line, starting with pre history and ending with New Smyrna today. This is an on going project being added to each day. We are partnering with the County in presenting an Echo tour of school children, being done twice a year. We are also partnering with the County developing an archaeology site dating back to the Turnbull Settlement. Our future plans calls for the development of the Old Fire Station for a Train Exhibit and a fire memorabilia exhibit.
