As our gift to all Fathers, free admission to the Henry B. Plant Museum on Father's Day! Bring your Father to the Museum and let him escape to the former Tampa Bay Hotel. Are you aware that the former Tampa Bay Hotel was touted as the only fireproof building south of Baltimore? It is made of brick, concrete from crushed Florida oyster shells and the walls are reinforced with steel cables that were left over from the Brooklyn Bridge. The mahogany throughout the Museum is from Cuba, the light bulbs are reproductions of the Thomas Edison carbon filament light bulb and the furnishings are from all over the world. Don’t miss this most unforgettable journey…experience what it is like to be a time-traveler.
