About This Lecture

Every square foot of Florida has some kind of interesting story attached to it, and the islands of Sarasota Bay are no different. Early developers not only shaped the character, but also the very boundaries of the land to create the keys as we know them today. Join Dr. Josh Goodman, manager of the Sarasota County History Center for a deeper dive into the origin of these patches of paradise.
