SUMMARY:Flora Fusion: Exploring the Connection Between Plants and People - Speaker Program
DESCRIPTION:The Carrabelle History Museum is presenting an interesting speaker program entitled “Flora Fusion: Exploring the Connection Between Plants and People”. This program will feature Barbara Clark\, a Regional Director with the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN)\, and will be held Saturday\, February 8\, 2025\, at 10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET at C-Quarters Marina\, 501 St James Ave (Hwy 98)\, Carrabelle\, FL. There is no charge for this event. \nBarbara Clark will dive into the fascinating relationship between people and plants in Florida\, and how it has shaped culture throughout time. Native Americans and some early settlers depended on their surrounding environment to meet their essential needs\, as their grocery store\, hardware store\, and pharmacy. Because of this\, the plants around them played an important part in their everyday lives\, serving as resources for food\, medicine\, tools\, storage\, transportation\, dyes\, and shelter. For thousands of years\, people in Florida have been learning about plants and their many uses. Archaeologists continue to uncover the diverse ways plants were used by Florida’s prehistoric inhabitants and early settlers. This presentation explores the fascinating roles plants played in Florida’s history. \nBarbara Clark\, Regional Director for both the Northwest and North Central Regional Centers of the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN). She is a Registered Professional Archaeologist who specializes in historic archaeology\, 19th and early 20th century and is also a board member of the Florida Archaeological Council and Chair of the Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation.
