T.T. Wentworth was a Pensacola entrepreneur, politician, and history buff who began his days as a museum curator showing oddities at a roadside stand. Today the Pensacola Museum of History, at the University of West Florida holds his eccentric collection is housed in the former Pensacola City Hall, which was built in 1907. The ground floor of the museum is dedicated to Wentworth’s collection, which includes, among other things, a mummified cat, a shrunken head, a Confederate torpedo, a 1,500-year-old dugout canoe, and a pair of shoes that once belonged to the world’s tallest man. The next two floors of the museum are historical, displaying artifacts, photos, and interactive exhibits about the history of the Florida Panhandle over the past few centuries.
