About this Event

Florida has been a beloved destination long before the “road trip” existed, but it was the age of the automobile which cemented us as an attainable vacation option. As more tourists of all social classes drove their way down our state, a new kind of tourist industry began to develop to welcome them. Join Curator of Education Elaina Gyure in a look through the rear-view mirror at the iconic roads, attractions, and memories that have made the Florida road trip a cultural touchstone.
