The Safety Harbor Museum of Regional History came into existence on June 30, 1965 when a small group of citizens with a strong interest in local history obtained a State charter.
Located in an area of placid surroundings overlooking Tampa Bay, it rests on a former Tocobaga shell mound under a canopy of oak and palm trees. The grounds are an archeological site and various excavations have yielded artifacts from Pre-historic Indians, the Spanish Contact, the Civil War and 20th Century Safety Harbor.
Whole pottery vessels and large shards beautifully describe the evolution of pottery making in Florida. An eye-catching illuminated wall diorama depicts Tocobaga life atop the shell mounds.
