The Sebastian Area Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the history of the Sebastian area through research and publications; to protecting historical materials, buildings and sites for the enjoyment of present and future generations; and to presenting local history to the community and visitors through the museum educational programs and exhibits.

It is located in the 1927 Historic Sebastian Public School at 1235 Main Street, Sebastian. It has exhibits on the Ais Indians, Pelican Island, Clothing, Family Life, Quilts, Fishing, Agriculture, Military, Transportation, Early Shops and Trades, book shop and research facilities. We have recently opened an additional room on the first floor to display the many historical maps in our collection.  Admission is free, but donations are greatly appreciated.
