🌴✨ MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: ANNA MARIA ISLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY ✨🌴

This week, we’re shining our Chamber Member Spotlight on the Anna Maria Island Historical Society! 🏝️📸

Anna Maria Island may be famous for its beautiful beaches, but there’s so much history behind our little slice of paradise! The Anna Maria Island Historical Society works to preserve and share the stories, photographs, landmarks, and memories that have helped shape the island we know and love today. ❤️

A visit to the Anna Maria Island Historical Museum is a great way for locals and visitors alike to discover how island life has changed through the years. And, of course, you can’t visit without stopping for a photo at the historic Old City Jail! 📸🔒

Organizations like the Historical Society play such an important role in keeping the character and history of our community alive for future generations.

👏 Thank you to the Anna Maria Island Historical Society for being a valued member of the Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce and for helping preserve the story of our beautiful island!

Have you visited the museum or taken your picture at the Old City Jail? Share your favorite Anna Maria Island memory with us in the comments! 🌊🌴

Last week, the AMI Chamber had the honor of attending the Anna Maria Island Rotary Club’s luncheon for a truly game-changing moment! The Rotary Club presented a generous $25,000 check to the AMI Beach Patrol to launch a brand-new water rescue drone.
This incredible tech will be able to fly out and deliver a critical flotation device to anyone in distress anywhere on the island within just 5 minutes of receiving a call. A massive thank you to the AMI Rotary Club for investing in life-saving technology to keep our beaches and community safe! 🚁🌊
