This in-person event will be held at the Bonita Springs Fire Department Station 24.

Jacob Winge, a master story teller, will provide a history of the Seminole Wars. Spanning from 1817 to 1858, these three conflicts between the United States and the Seminole people stand as the longest and most costly Indian wars in American history. This program will highlight significant causes and moments across the decades of conflict as well as the lasting legacy of the wars, from the forced removal of Native peoples to the survival of the unconquered Seminole Tribe in Florida today.
