Faith Mission

In 1928, Faith Mission moved to Crystal Beach with about twenty-eight children. The orphanage was housed in the former three-story Blue Heron Hotel that stood on the north side of Live Oak Park, adjacent to the pier.  Come and explore the story of the faith mission, the people who founded it and the children who were helped by it.

Citrus is King

The citrus industry is intimately tied to Florida's image in popular culture and was integral in the development of Palm Harbor.  Come and explore when the groves were first planted and how the industry developed, turning Palm Harbor into one of the premier locations for Citrus production in the state of Florida in the 20th century. Our Citrus Industry exhibit is located inside the Grove House, a 1930s two-room cottage relocated to the Palm Harbor Museum property in 2006 and restored in 2016.
