There are artifacts dealing with land development, tourism, agriculture, sports, fashion and music.

"When we have school tours and visits here, it's fascinating and fun to watch kids light up when they learn something new about the state that they live in, and we create our exhibits for all ages," said Winnie Edwards, the executive director of the Delray Beach Historical Society.

The exhibit will open to the public on Tuesday, Feb. 27.

The Delray Beach Historical Society is open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
