SUMMARY:Following The Cow Creek Trail
DESCRIPTION:\nThursday, January 7, 2027 | 2:00 PM\n\n\n\nWITH AUTHOR GREGORY ENNSStep into the fascinating history of Florida’s Treasure Coast with author and historian Gregory Enns, as he takes you along the Cow Creek Trail and explores the remarkable people, places, and stories that shaped this unique corner of Florida.\n\n\n\nEnns opens a window into Florida and Treasure Coast history through his research on Cow Creek Ranch, located on the border of St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties. The land has a history stretching back thousands of years—from the days when mastodons and mammoths roamed Florida, to the Ais people, who used the area for seasonal hunting.\n\n\n\nIn the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the region became home to members of the Seminole Tribe known as the Cow Creeks, including Polly Parker, considered the Evangeline of the tribe. Seminoles and cattlemen, including ranch owner Frank Raulerson, coexisted across the open range until fences began changing the landscape.\n\n\n\nEnns will also share the fascinating story of cattle in Florida and how early ranches such as Cow Creek came to be.\n\n\n\nHis presentation draws from Cow Creek Chronicles, which was released by the University Press of Florida in October 2025.\n\n\n\nABOUT GREGORY ENNSGregory Enns is a fifth-generation Floridian who spent 25 years as a newspaper reporter and editor before launching Indian River Magazine in 2006. A native of the Treasure Coast, he is also the founder of the Treasure Coast History Festival, held each January.\n\n\n\nCome follow the trail and discover a side of Florida history that is wild, surprising, and deeply connected to our own backyard.\n\n\n\nADMISSION:$5 for Members | $18 for Non-MembersValid Membership card required for member entry\n\n\n\nPlease Pay HERE Online to ensure your seat.This talk is expected to sell out – there is no guaranteed availability at the door\n\n\n\nAny Questions, please call us at (772) 225-1961\n\n\n\n\n
