About This Series

Island life. Island time. Island living. There's just something about islands that brings to mind swaying palm trees, a salty ocean breeze and a cold drink in your hand. The islands of Sarasota Bay are no exception. But, was the history of our favorite barrier islands as idyllic as we like to think? In this summer's session of the Sarasota County History Center's Florida History Lecture Series, we'll explore the riveting stories of how our islands were formed, built, pioneered and developed.
