Welcome to our website!
The Marion County Museum of History and Archaeology is a research and teaching institution located at 307 S.E. 26th Terrace, Ocala, Florida, on the McPherson County Government Complex.
Our displays, exhibits and programs cover 13,000 years of human history in this wonderful county.
Our Museum's Grand Opening was on September 18th, 2011 and we have now modified several areas in the museum since the opening, so be sure and stop by to see the "Changes".
Thank you for your interest in our area's wonderful history and heritage!
Recent Changes:
The museum has for sale Fresh From Florida Memory: Historical Recipes With a Modern Twist 2019 calendar. Each month features a Florida product with a historical photograph of that product and a modern recipe that uses that product. At the back of the calendar are cards with the recipes that may be torn out. Each is $4.62 plus tax and 100% of the money raised goes to support the Marion County Museum of History and Archaeology.
