Resolve to Visit a Museum
We are fortunate to have several museums in North Brevard. Make a resolution to visit, perhaps make it a regular family outing once a month to explore and learn something new. Hours and operations have been impacted by the coronavirus, so please check hours and procedures before you go.
Happy exploring!
Harry T and Harriette V Moore Memorial Park
2180 Freedom Ave., Mims
This county facility is more than a tribute to the local couple whose lives were lost tragically early in the civil rights movement. The multi-faceted center also challenges today’s global civil and human rights issues. Tours of the Moores’ replica house and exhibition galleries are available for individuals and groups.
North Brevard Historical Museum
301 South Washington Ave., Titusville
This volunteer-run museum documents early life in North Brevard and honors the individuals and families that helped our community grow. They have an extensive library of city directories dating back to 1926, school yearbooks and many historical photos including panoramic images of the area.
American Space Museum
308 Pine Street, TItusville
This museum honors all of America’s space programs and the workers who made space exploration possible. It’s home to personal collections and rare artifacts from space workers, astronauts, NASA and space contractor companies. The docents, who have worked on various missions and vehicles over the years, graciously share personal stories and memories to make the exhibits come to life. Once you’ve toured the museum, make sure you visit Spaceview Park and see the monuments for each of the American space program vehicles: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Shuttle, as well as an In the Line of Duty monument dedicated to those that lost their lives in the pursuit of space exploration.
Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum

Volunteers will guide you through history and share their personal knowledge and memories.
