Civil War in Florida? BELIEVE IT!

Join us Thursday, December 4, 2025, from 1:30–2:30 PM at the Elliott Museum for a fascinating lecture with author and historian Eliot Kleinberg!

Kleinberg — known for his engaging storytelling and deep dives into Florida’s untold history, will reveal the real role Florida played in the Civil War. Though often overlooked, the Sunshine State was one of the first to secede and held surprising strategic importance in the conflict.

Discover how war, loss, and renewal reshaped Florida’s identity — the very themes brought to life in Eliot’s gripping new novel, Peace River.

Come uncover the hidden chapters of Florida’s past with one of the state’s most compelling voices!
