The Halifax Historical Museum
Presents a new exhibit through November 6, 2010!
"Halifax Country Streets,
Then & Now!"
This exhibit displays photographs of streets and bridges
of the Halifax area dating back to
the late 1890's through the 1960's side by side
with photographs of the same streets and bridges in 2010.
See photographs of bridges with signs on
how to move your horses across the wooden draw bridge.
Gaze at early 1900's street lamps on Beach Street
and marvel at overgrown paths that are now six lane highways.
Beautiful homes now run along streets where dirt roads, scrub pines and palmetto bushes ruled. The exhibit is one big visual treat.

The focus of the museum is to present the history of the greater Daytona Beach area with artifacts dating from 5,000 B.C. including the local Native Americans, the Spanish and British colonial eras, early pioneer families, beach auto racing,
WorldWar II and vintage toys.
