Join in the Commemoration

In 2013, Florida commemorates the 500-year anniversary of Ponce de Leon arriving on its eastern shore, setting into motion a unique history which formed the culturally diverse state that we share today. We invite you to explore Florida's rich past at these sites along Florida's cultural heritage trails.
