Sulphur Springs Museum and Heritage Center We celebrate the cultural, social and natural history of Sulphur Springs and the state of Florida, through exhibits, programs and events.

We seek to contribute to the cultural and economic development of our unique neighborhood. The Sulphur Springs Museum and Heritage Center was created to celebrate and preserve the social and natural history of Sulphur Springs, a community that helped Tampa grow. Once known as the Coney Island of Tampa, Sulphur Springs has many historic sites and buildings, and a rich history. The Museum has existed since 2006, offering educational programs, but in February 2017 it opened in a new space at Mann-Wagnon Park, on the scenic Hillsborough River, and since then we have been able to host exhibits, community lectures, and more. The Museum is run entirely by volunteers, and depends on donations and grants. Regular opening hours are 12PM - 4PM, Wednesday through Sunday.

Wonderful turnout for our Exhibit Opening yesterday - more than 100 people came through to enjoy our amazing musicians, Deanna Carolina and Josif Zambrano, sample a spread of international snacks, and launch our Honoring our Immigrant Heritage program. They enjoyed Faces of Tampa Bay, an exhibit featuring stunning portraits by Rob Moorman, showcasing the stories of people from 13 countries who have made Tampa Bay home, and learned the story of immigration in the region and nation. Thanks to Tampa Council Members Naya Young and Guido Maniscalco for their inspiring words! With Florida Humanities
