Dunedin History Museum

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 more than 2,000 artifacts, 2,500 photographs, and a library of books that convey a great deal of information on Dunedin's past.

The museum has a complete collection of the Dunedin Times from 1924 to 1966, the year that the paper stopped being reliably printed.

[4] Director Vinnie Luisi and curator David Knupp worked with fabricators to create a modern and interactive museum experience that explores Dunedin's history through mixed media platforms.

These items include antique clothing, household tools, and utensils, all used by pioneer families of Dunedin during the late 1800s and 1900s.

Other permanent portions of the museum's collection focus on regional topics on Dunedin, including its multicultural origins, pioneering families, Mease Hospital, sports history, industries, and natural habitats.

The library provides patrons and other community members with over 200 volumes of cultural and historical information about Dunedin, Pinellas County, and Florida.
