Happy 150th Birthday Barron

Join us to celebrate Barron Collier's big birthday! He was born in March 1873 and was only 50 years old when he founded Collier County in 1923.

We are having a Birthday Party for him on Friday, March 10, in Everglades City, the town he selected as his headquarters and the first seat of his new County.

Join us at 2:30 PM in the Lighthouse Club at Everglades Isle Resort for an interesting afternoon hosted by the Everglades Society for Historic Preservation. We will talk about the life of this Roaring Twenties Tycoon as well as having a brief update on what ESHP has accomplished during the past year.

The event is free but reservations are requested so we know how large the cake should be. RSVP by email to ESHP@hotmail.com or phone Marya at 2390451-0265.
