Who We Are

Tarpon Springs Area Historical Society, Inc.

Tarpon Springs, Florida, boasts a fascinating and culturally rich history that attracts over one million visitors annually. The Tarpon Springs Historic Train Depot has stood the test of time for over 100 years. While no longer a functioning train station, it now serves as a museum operated by the Tarpon Springs Area Historical Society. We invite you to visit to see all the historical exhibits, enjoy a guided tour, or explore on your own.

We also offer a fun History Hunt for kids and those who are still young at heart!  There is no fee to visit our museum, but cash donations are always appreciated! We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Tarpon Springs Area Historical Society fills the City of Tarpon Springs-owned Historic Train Depot with exhibits on all aspects of life in the area. We also continually host events to further interpret and define our rich heritage.
The Depot Museum emphasizes the important role the railroad played in the growth of the city. Both the exterior and interior of the building have been extensively restored to “be as they were” when it was an active railroad station. The museum contains exhibits on education, health care, local businesses, and much more. The museum is also an official Welcome Center for the City of Tarpon Springs.  If you have any questions about where to stay or local eateries, or the various activities and sites to see around our wonderful historic city, our volunteers will be happy to share that information with you.
Our mission statement is

“To collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit the history of the Tarpon Springs area and to promote education, research, and preservation of historical points of interest.”
