1-24-24 Florida Vacation

Florida has always attracted vacationers, but in the 20th century, tourism exploded as places like Weeki Wachee Springs and Busch Gardens opened. Join pop culture historian Leslie Goddard to explore the rich history of Florida tourism from the 1940s up to 1971. We’ll explore the amusing and quirky attractions that helped the sunshine state become America’s favorite vacation destination. This program is co-sponsored by North Shore Public and Southold Libraries and hosted by Southold Free Library.
