Speaking of History - "The History of Our Heritage #4"

“The History of Our Heritage #4: New Initiatives in the New
Millennium”
Sunday, February 14, 2:00 p.m., Pinellas Room, Heritage Village

James Anthony Schnur
Immediate Past President, Pinellas County Historical Society

During the 2015-2016 year, both Heritage Village and the Pinellas County Historical Society (PCHS) celebrate their fortieth anniversary.

The first four “Speaking of History” programs retrace the history of the Village and the structures that moved to our site.

The final program of the series examines changes at Heritage Village since 2001. The Gulf of Mexico Sponge Warehouse, the Turner House, and the recently constructed Boathouse replica joined the other features of the Village. Bold interpretive plans, new research related to the historic features, improved signage, and expanded educational opportunities continued into the new millennium, with the strong partnership between Pinellas County, Heritage Village, and the Pinellas County Historical Society preserving our past for future generations to appreciate. Archival and library collections continued to grow, as volunteers also began the process of digitizing and preserving these treasures.
