Destin History And Fishing Museum

Destin History And Fishing Museum

This community museum invokes Destin's history as a fishing village. It features award winning examples of fish caught in Destin displayed on a 100 feet of wall space depicting the Gulf floor. Its collection of antique rods and reels includes a Penn Reel originally owned by Ernest Hemingway. The museum also houses the oldest seine fishing boat still in existence. The original Destin Post Office building is conveniently located next door.

We hope you enjoy our work.
