Henry B. Plant Museum

The Henry B. Plant Museum fills part of the former Tampa Bay Hotel, an 1891 resort that is now Plant Hall on the University of Tampa campus and a National Historic Landmark. Its rooms show original hotel furnishings and tell the story of Gilded Age travel, railroad builder Henry B. Plant, and Tampa's role in the Spanish-American War. The museum is best known for its Victorian Christmas Stroll each December, and also hosts film screenings and short live theater performances.
