Description
Florida Humanities Speaker Series, “Florida Transportation History: Planes, Trains, & Automobiles (& Steamboats Too!)” by Dr. Steven Noll will take place on Thursday, January 18, 2018 at 5:30pm.
Noll teaches American History at the University of Florida. His research focus is in the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era, particularly in Florida. This talk will demonstrate how Florida’s history as a territory and state can be told through the changing methods of transportation used to move people and goods to and within Florida. Noll’s presentation will also include a highlight on transportation within Manatee County.
This talk is FREE and open to the public. The talk will begin in the 1887 Old Meeting House Church at 5:30pm and will run about 45 minutes. A reception with light refreshments will follow. Manatee Village grounds will close at 7:00pm.
No RSVP required, seating on a first come, first served basis.
