Finding Florida: Crossing the Suwannee River in the 1800s; Early Ferries, Bridges & Trestles
February 24 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeEvent Navigation
Settlers traveling in to Florida in the early to mid-1800s encountered a nearly trackless longleaf pine wilderness and the necessity of crossing the Suwannee River or its tributaries – the Withlacoochee or Alapaha rivers. The history of settlers, pioneer families, and river crossings is intertwined with the history of Florida. Join historian and fish biologist Dr. Ken Sulak as he shares about this fascinating piece of Florida’s past.
