The Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum enriches the lives of children and adults alike by making local history accessible, interesting, and meaningful. The museum contains two second-floor interactive, permanent exhibits—The People Gallery and The Place Gallery—and a Rotating Exhibit Gallery.
The restored building also serves as the headquarters of the Historical Society of Palm Beach County.
Since 1937 the Historical Society of Palm Beach County has collected, preserved, and shared the county’s history. The HSPBC reaches hundreds of thousands of Palm Beach County’s young people, residents, and visitors through its archival collections, the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum in West Palm Beach’s historic 1916 Courthouse, and community and education programming.
