2023-08-10 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | St. Petersburg Museum of History, 335 2nd Ave NE, St. Petersburg, FL, 33701, United States
The St. Petersburg Museum of History and Southern Roots Realty invites you to join us on August 10 for Happy Hour with the Historian!

Celebrated author and historian Paul Wilborn will discuss his new novel, Florida Hustle, a colorful and often hilarious snapshot of Florida in the 1980s. Named one of the 100 Best Indie Books of 2022 by Kirkus Reviews, Florida Hustle is set in 1982 when America was led by a celebrity president, and the Sunshine State was morphing from a low-rent vacationland into a mega-state famous for theme parks and Seminole Indian casinos. This tale is pure Florida and is expertly told by award-winning journalist, author, pianist, and singer Paul Wilborn. Wilborn’s Cigar City: Tales From a 1980s Creative Ghetto won the Gold Medal for Fiction in the 2019 Florida Books Award. Wilborn is the executive director of the Palladium Theater at St. Petersburg College.

Happy Hour with the Historian - Andrew Jackson: From the Battle of New Orleans to the Invasion of Florida
2023-06-08 18:00 - 20:00
The Museum of History and Southern Roots Realty invite you to join us Thursday, June 8 for Happy Hour with the Historian!

Celebrated author and historian Robert Jacob shares the mysteries of how Florida played a crucial role in the early life of Andrew Jackson. Jackson became a national hero after defeating the British in the Battle of New Orleans – even though the battle took place two weeks after the War of 1812 ended.

In 1818 Jackson was ordered by President Madison to protect our southern border from the Spanish, but “Old Hickory” invaded Spanish West Florida and captured Pensacola after it was learned the Seminoles were hiding runaway slaves.

The Adams-Onís Treaty was signed on February 22, 1819, ceding East and West Florida to the United States and Jackson’s career as a government official begins.
