Museum
General admission to the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum is FREE, with a suggested donation of $5 per person.
The Wish You Were Here exhibit has an entry fee of $12 for non-members, free for members and children.
The museum is self-guided. Visitors will be welcomed by a docent, receive an overview of the exhibits, and enjoy a short presentation on the evolution of the historic building.
All guided tours are booked in advance and include all exhibits and the historic courtroom. Tours are available mornings and afternoons daily.

Children's Education Area
The Johnson History Museum created this fourth-floor space for our youngest visitors to engage with the current special exhibit. Hands-on activities spark curiosity and creativity in an engaging environment.
Docents in period attire will host a Story Time and Craft Program for ages 8 and younger on select Wednesdays and Saturdays during the season. Programs are free; however, space is limited and registration is required.
