The Florida History Project is an initiative dedicated to exploring, preserving, and sharing the vibrant history of the Sunshine State. From its indigenous roots and colonial past to its modern-day evolution, we bring Florida's unique stories to life through engaging content, extensive research, and educational resources designed for learners of all ages. Our mission is to make history accessible to everyone, from casual enthusiasts to K-12 classrooms.
