Description
Although the scenery may have changed dramatically in the 250 years since his visit to Florida, the path remains, and thanks to the work of scholars, historians and Bartram enthusiasts, the path is easier to follow today than ever before. William came to Florida in 1765 and again in 1774. His explorations and subsequent writing had a major effect on settlement and development of Florida. Join us as we are transported back to 1774 when William Bartram was on the great Alachua Savannah. Visitors can meet William Bartram, Trader Job Wiggens, and Ahaya- The Cowkeeper.
