Zoom into Archaeology: A Rogue's Paradise

Time: 3:30 pm til 4:30 pm

Location: Online; Central Time

Description: Join us for the next installment of FPAN's "Zoom into Archaeology" series: "A Rogue's Paradise: Archaeology of Florida's Taverns" by FPAN Museum Manager Mike Thomin and Public Archaeologist Nicole Grinnan!

For much of its early colonial history, Florida was very much on the frontier of civilization. Taverns were a mainstay of life during this time, providing a place for meeting and carousing. This presentation will explore what we can learn from the study of former tavern sites in Florida through historical and archaeological investigation. One of the biggest takeaways: though hundreds of years might separate us, people throughout history have always been up for a good time!

This presentation is most appropriate for teens and adults, but is family-friendly.
