UPCOMING PROGRAM

Amelia Island’s British Period

with Dr. Mike Harrison

Wednesday, April 3rd, at 12 pm

The period of British control over Amelia Island may have been brief, but it left a lasting mark on this region—including the name Amelia! The British transformed the economy and communities of Amelia Island, with the expansion of plantations, the rise of indigo cultivation, and conflict with the newly-revolting “Americans” to the north. To guide you through this tumultuous history is Dr. Mike Harrison, a long-time museum volunteer and member of the Fernandina Historic District Council.

Attendance is free and open to the public and attendants may bring their lunch. Seating is limited on a first come, first served basis. This program is wheelchair accessible.
