Over the years we have opened our doors free of charge to hurricane evacuees and now it is, once again, our turn.

To our community, our beloved Pensacola, the museums of the University of West Florida Historic Trust will reopen on Thursday, October 15 free of charge. Historic Pensacola Village, the Pensacola Museum of History, the Pensacola Museum of Art, and the Pensacola Children's Museum will be open.

We hope we can be a reprieve from the overwhelming tasks ahead. It will take time, but we are . We will get through this together. We are a community forged by a hurricane in 1559. Built on resilience.

Our museums have weathered the storm with minimal damages. There may be some partial closures, but we are here for you. We invite you to step into our story.

Staff are onsite today surveying our properties for any storm damages. This morning we found our storm preparations were successful on one window at the Dorr House. The shutter protected the window from impact from the large limb.

Trees are down at the Barkley House and in Historic Pensacola Village, but crews are onsite clearing the debris. We will update on our reopening as soon as we are able to evaluate the museums.

How do we prepare our historic properties and collections for potential severe weather? We have to secure the exteriors, protect the interiors, and document.

Staff worked hard on Thursday to ensure all our museums and properties are protected. Next week our Historic Preservationist will evaluate our properties and will make the decision on when we can reopen.

Stay safe and remember we are ! We've been surviving hurricanes since 1559.

Do you want to hear the real haunted history of Pensacola? Join us on Pensacola’s oldest ghost tours, but with a twist. We can take you inside the stories. Will the children grab your leg in the Dorr House? Will you see the black shadow cross Seville Square? Will your name be whispered on the nape of your neck in the Arbona Building? All have happened before.

We’ve been gathering these stories for 36 years. Maybe your story will become a part of haunted Pensacola too. Two Walking Tour routes available: haunted history:Village Walking Tour and Macabre Museum Mysteries Walking Tour.

This year we are hosting a progressive haunted dinner, Boos, Brews, and Chews on Thursday, October 8. For $75 you receive a haunted evening of ghost stories, Pensacola Bay Brewery B**r, Juan’s Flying Burrito Salsa and Quesadilla Bar with margarita, and Lucy’s in the Square’s yummy Spooky Smores Flatbread with a curated cocktail.

Plan your ghostly adventure with us on October 8, 9, 10, 23, or 24. Space is limited on all walking tours due to the size of our historic buildings. Get your tickets today before they are never’more. ghoststories hauntedhappenings

Our 36th year of haunting downtown Pensacola begins tonight with our Tormented Trolley Tours. Our volunteer tour guides love sharing the haunted history of Pensacola. Tickets still available for this weekend's Tormented Trolley.

This year, once again on our walking tours, we will share the haunted history stories from inside several of our downtown properties. Macabre Museum Mysteries explores the Arbona Building and the old City Hall. The Haunted history: Village Walking Tour shares the Dorr House, Old Christ Church, and the Lear/Rocheblave House. Join us on October 9, 10, 23, or 24.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our annual fundraising haunted tours. Cheers to 36 Years! Thanks for helping us
