Plantation Historical Museum — Attraction in Plantation

Closing at 4:30? Really? Most people get off work at 5:00 and your events are in the morning and end at 1:00 people work at that time. I understand that there are elderly folks that volunteer. But how about the younger folks between the ages of 18 and 65. They like to appreciate the games and events and so forth so when you have an event at 1:00 and everybody is at work and your clothes on Sundays?? Then what? No one can appreciate if it's a community museum open for the public then it should have events in the evening like around 7:00 or 8:00 and end around 8:30 9:00. I'm a local I'm 46 I Live 5 minutes away I do my exercise there practically every other night and I take a look what is the next event. So when I see an event at 1:00 in the afternoon and it's close on sundays. I asked myself how am I supposed to attend if I'm working I would like to participate in these kind of events such as '80s Bingo '70s Bingo '60s Bingo I'm a '70s kid so I think I'll do good in the '80s Bingo '90s Bingo but it would be fun to do 60s Bingo as well and so on those are just examples maybe if you did it at night 7:00 8:00 the same as if you had someone coming with the exhibitions like you did in the past the Christmas events you do every year...

Quaint near-History museum to enjoy on a rainy afternoon. Awesome examples of the City of Plantation and Greater Florida trajectory. From the Original Americans and the Spanish conquistadors to the first man on the moon and Walt Disney. They also have a firetruck! The younger ones will have fun while it may become an opportunity to show them where we come from, and hope they will take our country further than we did. The Women's Suffrage Movement temporary exhibit was an unexpected surprise, and more current that we would have thought. Laura, Lauren, John and Marc are pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating, a perfect showing in and by themselves of what makes this place worth your visit. Forever grateful. A triumph of fond memories. Highly...
