MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MANAGER
|
|
As we prepare to celebrate the 244th anniversary of the founding of our nation, we know the upcoming July 4th holiday will look a little different than usual.
Weeks of national unrest, rising coronavirus cases and economic hardships for both individuals and businesses, continue to take their toll.
We can still celebrate safely with loved ones and minimize the risk of COVID-19 by limiting guests at gatherings, following social distancing guidelines, celebrating outside and wearing masks. As you celebrate, please keep in mind that only sparklers and fountain fireworks are permitted in Pinellas County. All other fireworks are illegal without a permit. Please follow these guidelines for the safety of your friends, families, pets and Sheriffs.
While our celebrations may look & feel different from years passed, let's take some time to reflect on the things we have to be grateful for and enjoy this holiday knowing that we are all in this together, and that precautionary measures are in place simply for the health and safety of our friends and family. I continue to see the good in our residents through stories of unity and giving and continue to be proud to be a part of this great community! #DunedinTogether
Jennifer K. Bramley, City Manager

Founded in 1970, the museum is housed in a former railroad depot built by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad
in 1924. The former rail line that serviced the depot, originally built by the
Orange Belt Railway
in 1888 and last used for a series of special excursion trips from nearby
Tarpon Springs
and back on March 8, 1987, was converted into a section of the
Pinellas Trail
in the 1990s. The museum contains 2,000 artifacts, 2,500 photographs, and a library of books that convey a great deal of information on Dunedin's past. The museum provides special programming for schools and summer camps as well as a rotating special exhibit gallery.
