For our final Third Thursday Lecture of the year, the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society and Mandarin Community Club welcome Dr. John T. Foster. Dr. Foster’s lecture will focus on his book, At the Dawn of Tourism in Florida: Abolitionists, Print Media and Images for Early Vacationers, and highlight how Florida’s tourism and economic growth began before the railroads. In fact, there were efforts that began during Reconstruction, including by Harriet Beecher Stowe through her writings about Florida. His presentation will include the wonderful illustrations of the time and his books will be available for purchase. John T. Foster, Jr. and his late wife Sarah Whitmer Foster are well-known for their books Beechers, Stowes and Yankee Strangers and Calling Yankees to Florida – Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Forgotten Tourist Articles. They are known to be Stowe experts, having committed decades of work on the family. Third Thursday Lectures are presented by the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society in partnership with and held at the Mandarin Community Club, located at 12447 Mandarin Rd. Refreshments begin at 6:30 pm with the lecture at 7 pm. It is free and all are invited and encouraged to attend. Image from Goodreads and excerpt adapted from MMHS Comments are closed.
