Heritage Lecture Season 2025-2026
We are thrilled to welcome historian and author Eliot Kleinberg as he presents his latest novel, “Peace River.”
This compelling novel presents lesser known facts about the Civil War, and life in Florida during that period. The novel’s intriguing fictional characters set in historically accurate settings and situations will fascinate and raise questions about a dark yet creative period in Florida history.
Don’t miss this… it will be a great night of discovery and discussion for anyone interested in this period!
