THIRD THURSDAYS LECTURE SERIES:
Visit the Museum of the Everglades every third Thursday for a local history lecture. Museum of the Everglades | 2:00 – 3:00 PM
Museum of the Everglades Manager Thomas Lockyear, who began his double-decade career at the Pirate Soul Museum in Key West, will share stories of coastal cutthroats and seafaring scoundrels who may or may not have actually made the Sunshine State the scene of their criminal enterprises. While there are many fabricated tales of lost galleons and buried treasure in the Everglades and beyond, Mr. Lockyear’s lecture will navigate through those murky waters to those firmly anchored in historical fact. Scheduled two days before International Talk Like a Pirate Day, those who attend will leave with both an expanded piratical vocabulary and knowing what famous pirates truly plied their trade in Florida waters.
This event is free.
