Best History Museum in Medley

"HistoryMiami doesn't sound like the name of a historical museum, which is exactly what organizers and board members had in mind. The less-bulky name signified a new direction for what was previously called the Historical Museum of Southern Florida. Today, the museum, which actually began as a historical association in 1940 (George Merrick and Marjory Stoneman Douglas were members) continues to offer the exhibits that were developed throughout the previous decades, along with new ones."

"Narrow in on the history of Miami itself with this cool museum. For extra fun, head out on the second Saturday of the month for crafts, music, and more as part of Family Fun Days."

"A shrine to renowned swimmers and water polo players, the International Swimming Hall of Fame features a collection of memorabilia and Olympic Gold medals of famous swimmers. Anyone with even a passing interest in watersports will love learning about swimming from this official repository for aquatic history. Today, it aims to be a focal point for recording and sharing the history of aquatics and promoting swimming as the essential life skill it is."

"This fascinating museum located conveniently off A1A and just steps from the beach, will appeal to the champion swimmer in everyone. The International Swimming Hall of Fame highlights the achievements of notable swimmers and contains aquatic artifacts dating to the 15th century. Computerized exhibits let you pretend you are an Olympic swimmer, diver, or judge."

"Fort Lauderdale has a rich history which may be overshadowed by the more modern an sophisticated metro area that it has become. Old Fort Lauderdale Village and Museum chronicles the city's history from the early Seminole era to World War II. It also offers information about the city's historic district and a chronology of its development. Other exhibits feature scale models of historic structures, including a recreation of a Seminole village complete with arts and crafts."

"Though it may seem out of place in such a swanky and exclusive setting, the Holocaust Memorial on Meridian Avenue in South Beach is a poignant attraction that’s free to visit and worth a look when you’re in the area. Miami is home to a sizeable Jewish population, and the memorial was the brainchild of a small group of local Holocaust survivors in the mid-’80s. The memorial has been open to the public since 1990, and the site includes a memorial wall and a pleasant garden that’s conducive to quiet contemplation."

"Fort Lauderdale's rich history for African-Americans is presented in this inspiring museum. Many of the honors that are due to pioneers in the African-American community in Broward County are not recorded, but it is here through exhibits and lectures and special events that visitors and locals can learn more of this interesting and exciting chapter of local history. Built in 1924, this was the region's lone African-American school for children during segregation."

"The building opened in 1925 and became a US National Historic Landmark in 2008.* It’s an impressive landmark. It first started as headquarters for the newspaper Miami News. It now is a contemporary art museum."

"A post shared by Minty Z Plant-Based Restaurant (@mintyzllc). Minty Z is a chill Miami eatery serving up vegan dim sum and plant-based Asian fusion in the heart of Coconut Grove. You’ll most likely want to plan your visit around one of their event nights, like Sake Cinema (that’s half-off sake, a dope movie, and complimentary spicy popcorn) or Wonton Wednesday ($1 wontons and half-off wonton soup)."

This happening Peruvian hangout specialises in delicate ceviche dishes, all served with a squeeze of fresh Chulucanas’ lime juice, Arequipan onions and your choice of sauce. The cooked fare is equally impressive and takes the form of everything from generous platters loaded up with bite-size Peruvian delights designed for sharing, meat and fish plates based on old recipes rooted in tradition and fresh seafood dishes that use some of the less popular yet incredibly tasty seafood."

"The Tank Brewing Co. is one of the newer breweries in Miami, and it’s pretty impressive, too. Home to a 4,000 square-foot tap room that can host up to 600 people, go here for 16 different Miami-inspired brews on tap, like La Finca Miami, Freedom Tower, La Playita, Byronic Brown, Rye-Lingual, El Farito and more. When you need some food to soak up the alcohol, fill up on chicken chicharrones, wings, tostonnes, tempura cauliflower, ham croqueta preparada, guava manchego burger, bacon burger or the “Angry Vegetarian” and bone marrow fried chips from Twisted Fork Kitchen, which sits in-house at The Tank Brewing Co. 5100 NW 72nd Avenue, Bay A1, Miami, FL 33166."

"At The Tank, cigars and beer don’t make for such strange bedfellows. Clocking in at 25,000-square-feet, there’s plenty of room for brewing, drinking and then lighting up a stogie at the adjacent cigar lounge. From an English-style brown ale to a tropical pale ale, the brewery’s three-barrel system allows them to crank out a new beer every week."

"Bars Breweries Medley. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 4–6pm. Standout beer: El Farito IPA"

"Take I-95 south and grab the Rickenbacker Causeway until you hit Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. This beautiful state park is right at the end of Key Biscayne and gives you uninterrupted views of the ocean—a perfect sunset watching spot. The state park has a lighthouse, where guests can climb to the top and look out into the ocean and the beach below. Next to it is a cement lookout spot that serves as a bench to watch the sunset and enjoy your Zak the Baker treats (if you didn't eat them already on the car ride down)."

"Continue south on Collins Avenue and enjoy the views of Miami Beach, eventually reaching iconic South Beach. Park and head to the sand to enjoy a few hours on the beach. If that doesn’t sound like the right fit, enjoy a walk along iconic Lincoln Road for shopping, eating, drinking and people watching."

"Just a short drive to northern Key Biscayne, Crandon Park is an island park equipped with volleyball nets, cabanas for rent and pristine turquoise waters that beckon for a dip. Aside from the stunning beaches and pearly white sands, the park is also home to mangroves, dunes and a nature center that houses exotic fish and other wildlife. Just five minutes away from Crandon Park is Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park which is home to the Cape Florida Light – the oldest standing structure in Greater Miami."

"An abandoned zoo on a subtropical island, ever since Dade County's main zoological park decamped to way down south, the Crandon Park Gardens, or just Crandon Gardens (both derivations are used) has sat and grown into a hidden, mysterious botanical garden with otherworldly follies (the former animal enclosures) scattered here and there."

"Parents love Candon Park for its gorgeous 2-mile beach, lifeguards, and picnic areas. But kids keep coming back for the vintage carousel, paved roller rink, and a seahorse fountain. Throw in the pretty arboretum and gardens and you've got one of the best spots in Miami for kids of all ages."
