Mission

The Museum of Vanning and Hall of Fame was established to inform, inspire, reconnect, and preserve the history, culture, and artifacts of Vanning movement emerging from the 1970’s .

Currently, visiting the Museum is by reservation only. Call (727) 207-3128 to reserve your visit.

The Museum of Vanning is the result of nearly 50 years of collecting Vanning memorabilia and historical documents by curator and director, Joe Madonia.

In 2013, with the help of generous donors, we purchased land for a new museum building. The new museum building was completed in 2015, again thanks to generous donations. The ensuing years have been spent completing the interior and producing the historical displays and other amenities. The work on displays and other areas is an ongoing process as we receive more and more historical artifacts.

The non-profit corporation, the Museum of Vanning and Hall of Fame, was established in 2014 to help protect and manage the collection and to ensure its future.
