The Henry B. Plant Museum

Step into a time machine of Tampa Bay’s history at the Henry B. Plant Museum. Look no further for an afternoon experiencing a Victorian lifestyle. Housed in the 1891 Tampa Bay Hotel, the Henry B. Plant Museum has the actual furnishings from back in the day.

Our recommendation: After soaking up Tampa’s historical culture, stroll around the University of Tampa or walk along the Hillsborough River!
