The Dunedin History Museum is a local history museum located in downtown Dunedin in the U.S. state of Florida. Founded in 1970,[1] the museum is housed in a former railroad depot built by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1924. The former rail line that serviced the depot, originally built by the Orange Belt Railway in 1888 and last used for a series of special excursion trips from nearby Tarpon Springs and back on March 8, 1987, was converted into a section of the Pinellas Trail in the 1990s.[2] The museum contains 2,000 artifacts, 2,500 photographs, and a library of books that convey a great deal of information on Dunedin's past. It also houses permanent exhibits about Honeymoon Island, local life, the founding of Dunedin, the military presence in the town, Florida railroads, and the citrus industry.[3] The museum provides special programming for local schools as well as the general population.
