Preserving Local History Together
With yearly financial support from our members and sponsors, we offer creative and compelling educational experiences for all ages and backgrounds.
The Delray Beach Historical Society archive of over 100,000 items belongs to all of us and is an inspirational source for our immersive exhibits, programs and events.
We invite you to be a part of this extraordinary effort on behalf of our citizenry and future generations. If we remain good stewards of our history, the Delray Beach story and legacy will endure.
