Communities to Explore!
In Florida, there are so many communities to explore that have fascinating historical and cultural backgrounds. Consider walking through Cuban history in Tampa’s Ybor City, or learning more about the Greek community of Tarpon Springs, or discovering hidden gems in the towns of Deland or Lake Wales. The unique backgrounds of each community are described ranging from topics such as early indigenous tribes to pioneer settlers and 20th-century visionaries. You’ll discover how various forces shaped the communities – the citrus industry, sponges, seafood, history, cigars, railroads, speculation, and even tourism.
Travel through Key West, Fernandina Beach, Fort Pierce, and Bartow. Even if you can’t get there immediately, you can still download the stories and listen to or watch the show. The engaging storyteller shares stories of what makes each community so completely different from the others.
If you think history is boring, then you haven’t listened to these engaging Florida Stories.
