The Historical Society celebrated its 25th Historical LeBarge Cruise early in November, and were delighted to offer commentary courtesy of famed local historian John McCarthy.
If you couldn’t make the November tour with us, make plans now to join us in March! Email Linda Garcia, our Site Manager, at hsosc1@gmail.com for your reservations now.
Our newest board member Virginia Hoffman (second from left) enjoyed her birthday celebration on the cruise with other board members (l. to r.) BrendaLee Hickman , Bill Kleber, and Meade Ferguson.
Funds raised help the private non-profit Society preserve and protect two of the oldest historic buildings in Sarasota County. Visit the Bidwell-Wood House (1882) and the Crocker Memorial Church (1901) Monday-Friday 10am to 2pm, or during any of our special events on our Calendar of Events. Pioneer Park is located just east of 41 at 12th Street.

Please put me down. March seems so far away but guess we have to plan early. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and to Sal later norma
Yay, Norma! Be sure to call or drop an email line to Linda, in case she doesn’t see this comment on our blog. And I’ll see you onboard in March (that cruise DOES sell out fast… folks buy reservations as holiday gifts to neighbors, friends, family….)! –Sara deSota
