Lecture - Ybor City Beneath the Surface
Time: 10:00 am til 11:00 am
Location: Polk State College, 999 Avenue H NE Winter Haven, WLR 204, FL 33881
Description: Presentation by Becky O'Sullivan, FPAN WCRC
Archaeology beneath the Ybor City we see today can tell us even more about the people who founded and lived in this bustling cigar town. Last summer, staff and volunteers from the West Central Regional Center of FPAN conducted archaeological investigations at the Ybor City Museum State Park, a city block that was once home to many cigar factory workers and their families. This presentation covers the background of the particular lot and our current work to connect the small forgotten things recovered during excavations to the people of Ybor City's past and present.
