FLORIDA HISTORY ALIVE, INC.
SARASOTA, FLORIDA

There is a bit of a time traveler in each and every one of us. Some are always looking to the future, others are grounded in the present, but all of us have a past. We are always connected to it, and each day that passes is an addition to our personal history. We make history continuously as an individual, a family, a community, a state, and a nation. Currently, we are focusing on , Florida...a city and county with a rich cultural heritage and compelling stories. We are also exploring expanding to other cities throughout Florida with our parent company, Florida History Alive! Currently, we are in negotiations with other Florida historians to develop and showcase their history in a more lively way, under our umbrella. We hope you will enjoy the result of those negotiations and production of an easy-to-use resource for information and enjoyable content. Countless hours of research have gone into this endeavor, and without the help of many dedicated historians, archivists, conservationists, and a wonderful community of people who love their 'home town', none of this would have been possible. As you read and view the stories, full credit will be given to each individual, or organization that has contributed information or photographs. If you are over 50 years old, please invite a younger person to join you when you delve into the material presented here; we're willing to bet many of them do not know the history of their town or state. But, more importantly, this experience presents an opportunity for you to connect on a level that everyone appreciates...storytelling. Mission Statement Be it through historic preservation, achievable conservation, or community sustainability, Florida History Alive! is the primary source to mutually assist nonprofit organizations attain their fundraising goals, while pursing their individual mission.
