Each quarter we update our Temporary Exhibit Room with a new Featured Exhibit, so be sure to check back with us frequently.
CURRENT FEATURED EXHIBIT
Our new featured exhibit is Fernandina and the Sea: The Birth of a Shrimping Empire!
There was a time in the early 1900s when an industry shaped the story of Fernandina. Several innovations by notable residents at the turn of the 20th century revolutionized shrimping technology and boosted the local economy, earning Fernandina the title “Birthplace of the Modern Shrimping Industry”.
