About This Lecture

Some know them as the Sarasota Vigilance Committee, others as the Sarasota Assassination Society. Many just call them the Sarasota Vigilantes. Join Krystin Miner of the Manatee Village Historical Park as she recounts the history of danger and terror inflicted by the Vigilantes in our area during the 1880s. Prepare yourselves for a presentation of “disastrous proportions”!
