CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WITH CULTURAL EVENTS AT FLORIDA STATE PARKS
CELEBRATE HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH WITH CULTURAL EVENTS AT FLORIDA STATE PARKS
~A dozen Florida State Parks celebrate and preserve Hispanic history. Celebrate Sept. 15 to Oct. 15~
A flag flies at Fort Clinch State Park in Fernandina Beach.
TALLAHASSEE- The Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Park Service join Governor Rick Scott in honoring the significance and appreciation of Hispanic culture on Florida's past, present and future during Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept.15-Oct. 15.
During this celebration, Florida residents and visitors are encouraged to celebrate “The Real Florida” by spending time with family and friends at the 12 Florida state parks that focus on preserving Hispanic heritage.
Governor Rick Scott said, “Ann and I are excited to join all Floridians in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month. With more than four million Hispanics that call Florida home, communities throughout the Sunshine State will celebrate with a wide range of events and activities. Florida’s State Parks will play a significant role in this important celebration. We encourage Florida families to spend time together exploring the natural and cultural treasures at Florida’s State Parks, while celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.”
“While it’s impossible to capture the importance of Florida’s Hispanic past, present and future in one month, we enjoy telling the stories at our state parks during Hispanic Heritage Month,” said Donald Forgione, Director of the Florida Park Service, “Family is an important thread in every culture, so during this special month we’re encouraging visitors to host a celebratory family picnic at a state park or take a visit a state park with significant Hispanic history.”
The following Florida state parks offer a window into Florida’s Hispanic heritage:
Northwest Florida
San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park, St. Marks
The site’s history began in 1528 when Panfilo de Narvaez arrived with 300 men. In 1539, Hernando de Soto, along with 600 men, followed the same route taken by Narvaez. In 1679, the Spanish built a fort to protect the Spanish missions. The museum at the park displays pottery and tools that were unearthed near the original fort and explains the history of the site.
Northeast Florida
Big Talbot Island State Park, Jacksonville
Named during the British period and originally used by the British grantees for plantation agriculture, including citrus, sugar, indigo and cotton, Big Talbot Island was used by Spanish settlers during the following Second Spanish period.
Anastasia State Park, St. Augustine
More than 300 years ago, sites like the coquina quarries located within Anastasia State Park were busy with workers hauling blocks of rock. With hand tools, they hewed out blocks of the soft shellstone and pried the squares loose along natural layers in the rock. The blocks were used to construct the Castillo de San Marcos and many other buildings.
Fort Mose Historic State Park, St. Augustine
In 1738, the Spanish governor of Florida chartered Fort Mose as a settlement for freed Africans who had fled slavery in the British Carolinas. When Spain ceded Florida to Britain in 1763, the inhabitants of Fort Mose migrated to Cuba. Although nothing remains of the fort, the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 for its importance in American history.
San Felasco is the mispronunciation by settlers and Indians of the name of a 17th century Spanish mission, San Francisco de Potano, which was located in the southeastern section of the preserve. The preserve is one of the few remaining mature forests in Florida.
Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park, Micanopy
Rancho de La Chua, on the Prairie's north rim, is believed to be the site of Hacienda de La Chua, the largest cattle ranch in Spanish Florida. Established before 1637, La Chua was managed by the politically powerful Menendez Marquez family. Cattle and wild horses seen today are descendants of those brought over by the Spanish in the early 1500s and left to roam free after the British raids in the early 1600s.
Central Florida
De Leon Springs State Park, DeLeon Springs
Legend and folklore claim Juan Ponce de León sought and discovered the mythical Fountain of Youth at DeLeon Springs. The Visitor Center features exhibits on the park's 6,000 year history and presentations on Florida's Springs, the St. Johns River and the Everglades.
Tomoka State Park, Ormond Beach
Within the park is the Nocoroco Site, a Timucuan village reported by Spanish explorers in the early 1600s, where visitors can enjoy a half-mile nature trail through a hardwood hammock that was once an indigo field for an 18th century British landowner.
Sebastian Inlet State Park’s McLarty Treasure Museum, Melbourne Beach
In 1715, 11 Spanish treasure galleons sank along the east central Florida coast. One of the survivors’ campsites was located on the present day site of the McLarty Treasure Museum. A second museum, the Sebastian Fishing Museum also provides history of the area to visitors.
Southwest Florida
This 125-acre island is located in the Estero Bay, and was created more than 2,000 years ago by the indigenous tribe known as the Calusa, or “fierce people.” In 1566, the Spanish Governor of Florida established a settlement on Mound Key with a fort and the first Jesuit mission, known as San Antonio de Carlos. Today, interpretive displays can be found along a trail that spans the width of the island.
South Florida
The San Pedro was a 287-ton, Dutch-built ship which sailed as part of the fleet of New Spain in 1733. Her discovery in Hawk Channel in the 1960s, beneath 18 feet of water, led to the recovery of small silver coins dated between 1731 and 1733, as well as cannons trapped under the ballast pile. Today, this underwater archaeological preserve features a submerged shipwreck that is available for diving and snorkeling.
Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, Key West
Fort Taylor played important role in Civil War and the Spanish-American War. The fort was one of a series built in the mid 1800s to defend the nation’s southernmost coastline. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973.

JAZZ IN THE HALL - SEPTEMBER 19TH FORT LAUDERDALE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
  |
Get in the game of business success
Now is the time to plot out the rest of the year and either get back on target or finish with exponential increases over 2012.
One of the ways to do that is to re-establish or create new relationships and the easiest way to that end is to plug into the Chamber's programs, products or services now.
This week alone there are six events on the Chamber's calendar that could make a huge difference in your bottom line. On Thursday, join us at the Chamber's Jazz in the Hall,beginning at 5:30 pm, presented by AMC.
This event is especially designed for the small business entrepreneur with table top exhibits, food and drink, and outstanding drawings like a MSC Cruise on one of its newest ships--MSC Divina.
Four leads group meet this week where you can plug into the power of the Chamber network by working with other business executives to generate prospects for each other. You can join a leads group by clicking here.
Social media, like Linkedin and Facebook, means business and is part of your Chamber's culture. Our social media pages have over 1,500 members involved and can be used as a method to cultivate new relationships and learn about new issues. These sites are directly linked to the Chamber's web site which attracts over 40,000 unique visitors every month with online sessions averaging over 30 minutes.
Make sure your marketing doesn't end there by participating with our new Interactive Street Map that will drive business to you with our strong brand recognition and growing audience. Contact Steve Schrage for more information on how to leverage this product to your benefit.
On Wednesday your Board of Directors, Chairman's Circle members and Trustees will meet at the BB&T Center's Legends' Lounge to hear from "Tourism Czar" Nicki Grossman on the current state of the tourism industry and where we are going as a region. From convention center expansion to an additional penny tourist tax, Grossman will cover it all from her unique perspective.
We will also have two councils holding luncheons with excellent speakers--Sheriff Scott Israel at the Oakland Park/Wilton Manors Luncheon, and Congresswoman Lois Frankel at the Downtown Council Breakfast--presented by the Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority.
Lastly, on September 30, 10:30 am, at Chamber Headquarters, join us with congressional leaders Debbie Waserman-Schultz, Lois Frankel and Ted Deutch, as we review business and individual options related to the American Healthcare Act. We will have representatives on site from the Small Business Administration and the Internal Revenue Service.
Any one of these opportunities could make the difference in your future, however, that will not happen unless you show up and get in the game.
