The St. Petersburg Museum of History and Southern Roots Realty Special Edition of acclaimed lecture series, Happy Hour with the Historian!

Logan DeVicente and Phil Graham, Jr. of the Downtown Waterfront Parks Foundation share the history, as well as the future, of our magnificent downtown waterfront parks.

Civic leaders of yesteryear like William Straub, Perry Snell, and the Women's Town Improvement Association fought for the public ownership and stewardship of our waterfront parks in the early 1900s. Over 100 years later, the fight continues to protect our jewels of the downtown waterfront.

DeVicente and Graham talked not only about the past, but what is coming down the road for our downtown parks - from restoration projects, to the event to create the world's longest picnic blanket!
