Beaches Museum and History Park extends along three blocks of Pablo Historical Park, showcasing a wide variety of permanent and temporary exhibits on the region's beach history. The museum was the vision of Jean McCormick, who began acquiring land for the project in 1978 through the Beaches Area Historical Society. It was opened to the public in 2006 and now houses a number of historic structures and artifacts, including the city's former post office building, depot station, and a preserved foreman's house. Other artifacts include a restored 28-ton steam locomotive and the preserved St. Paul's By-the-Sea Chapel, constructed in 1887. Visitors can explore the museum park for free Tuesdays through Sundays during the morning and afternoon hours.
