301 South Washington Avenue, Titusville, Florida became the home of The North Brevard Historical Museum when a local businessman, Glenn Patch, offered his commercial building to be used in October of 1988. In December of 1995, Patch then donated the museum building and the adjoining building to The Historical Society of North Brevard. Patch recognized the "value of an historical society to the community." [1] The mission for the museum, by The Historical Society of North Brevard, is "to collect, display, and present the history of North Brevard County." [2]. The museum houses historical artifacts, including historic postcards, photographs, clothing from as early as the 1870s, and a Seminole Indian display.[3]

Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
