The Suwannee County Museum is proud to announce their plans for this year’s Road to Olustee event. The museum will feature a month-long exhibit of history relating to the Civil War and the vital part that Florida and Suwannee County played in this historic time of battle.
The museum will feature a month long exhibition through the month of February and an open house event on Saturday, February 11 from 9am – 3pm. The open house event will feature local re-enactors representing the soldiers of the Leon Rifles of the Department of the Gulf. These soldiers will be onsite through the day offering an historic account of the life and times of a confederate soldier of February, 1864. Local historian and author, Eric Musgrove will present a lecture program at 1:00 pm at the Depot Conference Room, adjacent to the museum.
As a kickoff to the open house weekend on Friday, February 10, museum curator Randy Torrance will introduce a new program of the museum, called History Hunters. These gatherings will be held over the lunch hour and are “user friendly” for both retirees and those still in the workforce. Attendees are encouraged to bring a sack lunch and eat while they learn something fascinating.
History Hunter events begin at 12:10 and are approximately 35 minutes long, with a question and answer session afterwards. They are scheduled around the lunch hour and participants are encouraged to bring a sack lunch. To accommodate work schedules, participants should feel comfortable leaving when required.
