THE MANY ORIGINS OF SARASOTA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10th, 5 PM
How old is Sarasota? That depends on what you’re asking. Sarasota is a city, a county, and a bay – each with its own origin story. Join Dr. Josh Goodman, manager of the Sarasota County History Center, for a closer look at the history of Sarasota in all its forms, a story that stretches back to the Spanish colonial era and ties in with some of the most exciting developments of Florida’s fascinating past. The program will feature maps, photographs, and archival records from the History Center’s collections.
Dr. Josh Goodman is an excellent speaker who hosted a similar event last February titled “History of Venice” to a full house at the River Club. He has authored two books and a variety of articles on Florida history topics.
