Indian River Citrus Museum, Vero Beach FL

This museum was one of the best I have visited! Please do not let the size deter you! Although it is very small, it is packed with so much local history. The local historian at the museum that day gave a tour of the museum, giving so much history and information that was not already apart of the exhibit!

Unfortunately we came during the off season. This meant we could not try some fresh Indian River Orange juice or see the groves. I have already planned a trip back during the season (November-May) to see even more of this very unique museum.

Since visiting, multiple friends and family have visited and all have said how great the museum is! Please Please Please visit them!

They also have a function hall in the room next to the museum. The hall (called the Heritage Center) was restored and preserved back to how it was in the early 1900s. The roof, original fire place, and floors were magnificent to see.

Not really a museum, more like an exhibit. The space is a single room with photos and a few pieces of small farming equipment. The docent was excellent and we enjoyed learning the history of citrus farming in east Florida from her.

What a cute little museum! It was just luck that we found it! Everytime we pass the building, we think it's the Heritage part of the building and it never looked open. But we saw the sign and boy, we're glad we went. Not only did we get a great tour, but free Florida orange and grapefruit samples!

This place is a must for Florida history!

Was nextdhfir a Salvation Army celebration with bell ringers which was great

Tiny and cute. I spent over an hour talking to the local volunteer inside who taught neat history and pointed me to some local spots! Fun merch, weird hours. Def drop in
