The St. Lucie County Regional History Center is located just across the bridge from Ft. Pierce on the north side of Seaway Drive. There is a small admission fee which also includes entry into the aquarium. The museum is one of the few places where you can get a feel for what life was like for the early Florida settler in the area. The county was primarily agriculture with citrus, pineapples, and cattle providing jobs and treasure for decades. If you are lucky, Mr. Gardner will be around to give you a tour of the home he grew up in which was relocated to the site from Ft. Pierce. There are pictures showing it crossing the bridge! My favorite exhibit is just inside the museum and shows the shipwrecks that gave rise to the "Treasure Coast"; in fact, a collection of gold coins was found in six feet of water as recently as last year and is valued at over $1million! If that doesnt give you an incentive to beach walk and swim, I dont know what will! I recommend giving the museum a visit for an afternoon: you will be pleased.

We were vacationing and decided to visit the little aquarium next door. Did not even know this museum existed, but very glad we walked over. The exhibits are excellent and the volunteers were knowledgeable and interesting. We spent a couple hours here and could have stayed longer. Well worth the tiny admission fee.

Best museum tour EVER! Mr Gardner gave us a personal tour of the 1912 house he was born and raised in (until it was moved to this museum location). It was like going back in time. An unexpected treat and not to be missed.

Beautiful place, very inspirational. Nice aquarium. Perfect for kids you can stay on the sandy side of the river for fun in the water. Playground is outside.
