==Original museum==
The original museum was in fact a roadside stand owned by Wentworth, which opened in the suburb of [[Ensley]] in [[1957]]. Wentworth was paraphrased as saying, in the 1980s, that he would donate everything in his collection if he could earn a permanent spot to house his collection in Pensacola. A state grant was signed by Governor [[Bob Martinez]] to allow the city to renovate the old city hall, and the museum was officially opened in [[1988]].
