Reflections of Manatee invites you to celebrate the unveiling of “The History of Manatee Flows from this Spring”, a new interpretive pathway that honors all the groups of people who have used the Manatee Mineral Spring over the centuries. The new pathway wends its way around the Manatee Mineral Spring site and the signs explore different facets of the area’s history, including Native Americans, the maroons of Angola, Early Pioneers, The Third Seminole War, The Civil War, and much more. The non-profit Reflections of Manatee developed the interpretive signs in consultation with area scholars and community descendants, with funding from the Florida Humanities Council.
