Why visit the Sails to Rails Museum?
Travel back to the Age of Sail, a time when large wooden ships sailed the waters of the Caribbean, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico in search of treasure while facing storms and fearsome pirate attacks.
Takeing a leap forward to the emergence of the railroad, we find trade routes connected by long railroads, taking advantage of the birth of states and emerging industries.
