Previous PostSouth Florida’s long and robust maritime history has placed Miami at the top of the recreational boating industry. That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with HistoryMiami Museum; a Smithsonian affiliate and the leading historical association in our community.
As part of Marina PARC, HistoryMiami will house and showcase an eclectic collection of nautical antiques, sailboats, watercrafts, and outboard motorboat engines to educate the public about South Florida’s significant and fascinating marine-industry past as well as its home-grown innovators and unique locations. The exhibits and items will be moved from museum’s current Downtown Miami location to Marina PARC in Virginia Key.
Exhibits will delve into the Magic City’s history as home to the The Miami International Boat Show, Stiltsville, the Cape Florida Lighthouse and Miami Marine Stadium. HistoryMiami will also explore the 172,000 acres of water and more than a dozen islands that make up Biscayne Bay.
As Miami’s history continues to intertwine with the water, Marina PARC and HistoryMiami will share the story and encourage locals and visitors alike to understand the vital role our past will play in how we as a community will shape our future.
