We missed you in January, but we're back on track to kick off 2026! Please join us for what promises to be a very interesting presentation By Land and Sea: Don Tristán de Luna’s 1559 Colonization Attempt in Pensacola, Florida by Dr. Della Scott-Ireton. Feel free to bring a snack to share. Reception begins at 6:30 with presentation beginning at 7 pm.]Before the English settled Jamestown and before the Spanish colonized St. Augustine, the harbor of Pensacola, Florida, was targeted by Spanish authorities as the perfect place to establish a town on the northern Gulf Coast. Only a few weeks after arrival, however, the fleet of ships and settlement led by Tristán de Luna were irreparably damaged by a violent hurricane. In recent years, three of Luna’s ships have been discovered in Pensacola Bay and the settlement site was discovered on a nearby landform. Join us for an exploration of the history of this ill-fated settlement attempt, as well as the exciting archaeology taking place on land and underwater!
