Located in Tampa, the Henry B. Plant Museum is a stunning ode to the Gilded Age. Housed in the former Tampa Bay Hotel, the museum offers a glimpse into the past when Florida was a playground for the wealthy. The opulent building was erected in the late 1800s by railroad magnate Henry B. Plant and quickly became a social hub for the elite. Visitors can explore the ornate corridors and rooms of the hotel, which have been meticulously preserved and restored. From the grand lobby to the cozy bedrooms, the museum offers a peek into the lives and customs of America’s wealthy class over a century ago. Whether you’re a history buff or simply appreciate architectural wonders, the Henry B. Plant Museum is a must-visit destination.
