St. Lucie County Regional History Center, Fort Pierce

This place was absolutely lovely! I love museums and especially enjoy learning about history; so this was a real joy for me! 10/10 I loved visiting here because I learned so much! (Down below is a sort of lengthy description of my experience at this place) -At first I thought it was going to a cutesy little building with some artifacts and information but then a very nice woman (Nancy I think was her name, I don't quite remember so forgive me!) Showed my sister and I out of this small cute house into another building, which by first glance, was FULL of things! She gave us a quick introduction about the museum and about the indigenous people who lived on this land before us, and was completely unbiased about their history and showed us some more stuff (I don't want to spoil much since you definitely should experience it for yourself but there's a small room with an incredible model of a ship), and then let us be and left us to explore the museum. Although it's a relatively small museum it had so much information and facts that by the end of it my head was bursting at the seems with what I had learned! They've collected so many antique's and had interesting (honestly a little frightening) human mannequins/models that represented different people and the times they were living in. This whole place felt like a strange time capsule of what was the entire history of Port St. Lucie, and it has a wide variety of collections too! It's like a little mix of everything in this museum, some artworks, antiques, stories and legends, and so much more I don't even think it's possible for me to list it all accurately! Truthfully I seriously enjoyed my visit and I cannot stress enough how misleading that cute yellow building is. It's like a cute little yellow house, and then behind it is a behemoth of knowledge, or well, almost like a maze, except you're guided through arrows. (Perhaps the opposite of a corn maze? 🤔). If you like learning and enjoy museums then you've gotta check this place out!

Spent hours here. So much to see, learn. Our docent was great. If you're considering an interesting, educational and easy paced visit to somewhere - consider this!
