This group formed a committee in hopes of creating a museum that would display items and artifacts related to the history of Amelia Island.

During this time period resident William Decker, was collecting thousands of documents and artifacts related to the local history.

In 1977 a board of trustees was created from the original DLC committee that then formed the non-profit cultural institution called the “Fernandina Historical Museum.

Through various fundraising activities the group lobbied the City of Fernandina Beach to purchase a portion of materials from the Decker collection.

In 2003 the building completed a half million dollar update including the addition of an archive and research area on the second floor.
