Tampa Bay History Center

This first-rate history museum presents the region's Seminole and Miccosukee people, Cracker pioneers and cattle breeders, and Tampa's Cuban community and cigar industry. The cartography collection, spanning six centuries, dazzles. At the time of research, the museum had just announced an $11-million expansion involving pirate history and a 60ft replica of a pirate ship.
