About this event
W.T. Bland Public Library (Mount Dora) - Community Room, W.T. Bland Public Library (Mount Dora). Adults are invited to hear Rodney Kite-Powell, Director of the Touchton Map Library at the Tampa Bay History Center discuss how many of the events and themes that appeared on a large scale throughout the United States in the years leading up to the Civil War were also evident in Florida during its time as a U.S. Territory, from 1821 to 1845. Told through the use of historic maps, this presentation showcases how Florida was home to many important events and trends that preceded those in the American West after the Civil War. No registration is required. Sponsored by Florida Humanities and the Mount Dora Library Association Please like us on Facebook!
