​We are so excited that Mandarin's own Emily Lisska is going to give the Third Thursday Lecture in August at the Mandarin Community Club. It promises to be fascinating in content and beautifully delivered by Emily, as always.

Emily will tell us that Harriet Beecher Stowe was not the only notable North Florida female face who moved between Jacksonville and Mandarin with impact. Other women, if not physically, were emotionally tied to the two St. Johns River villages. Stowe, along with Jacksonville Founding Mother Nancy Hart, Commodore Rose, Eleanor Pritchard and Hester James McClendon are other names of interest in the early North Florida story. Who were these women who firmly had their feet or at least an interest in both communities? Come to this lecture and you will find out! 

Lisska, a Jacksonville native, is Executive Director of the Jacksonville Historical Society. She is a Past-President of the Mandarin Community Club, a Miss Aggie Award recipient and a member of the Mandarin Museum and Historical Society. She is also President-Elect of the Florida Historical Society.
