On exhibit are some of our collections that have not been exhibited since our days in Old Christ Church. For instance, the ten items displayed in the Church on the day the Museum opened in 1960 are on display once again. For seventy-five years the Pensacola Historical Society has made it our mission to preserve and promote Pensacola history. Come into the Museum to see how we have kept Pensacola history alive.
