3rd on 3rd Street with Rachel Wentz: Florida on Fire
Time: 6:00 pm til 7:30 pm
Location: Amelia Island Museum of History, 233 S. 3rd Street, Fernandina Beach
Description: Humans have utilized fire for over 500,000 years. Since its capture and domestication, fire has transformed human civilization, affecting diet, material culture, even our anatomy, and its control is frequently cited as one of the demarcations separating "human" from "nonhuman." Prehistoric Floridians relied heavily on fire, and we see its application in numerous aspects of their culture. But fire has played a fundamental role within our state's prehistory and history. From habitat maintenance to major urban conflagrations, Florida has had a close affinity with fire. This presentation will explore the numerous ways fire has transformed our state.
This program is free for members, with a suggested donation of $5 for non members. For more information contact Gray at 261-7378 ext 102.
