The best arts & culture spots in Palm Bay

“Skip the beach crowds and wander through the preserved rooms and lush gardens at Rossetter House Museum, where guided tours share Caroline P. Rossetter’s early 1900s story, the Roesch House, and plenty of local lore. A relaxed, history-nerd fix that feels wonderfully close to home.”
