The Marco Island Historical Society (MIHS) presentsHoliday Traditions in Florida, a touring exhibit from the Museum of Florida History, that runs now through September 21, 2024, at the Marco Island Historical Museum. A free and open-to-the-public exhibit reception on July 2, from 4 to 5:30 PM, will have a traditional red, white and blue holiday theme for the July 4th holiday.
Holiday Traditions in Floridasparks both reflection and amusement with photographs from the past and present that depict how Floridians put their own special spin on holidays. The exhibit reflects on the Sunshine State’s environmental, cultural and ethnic diversity. Floridians have even fashioned holidays of their own over the years.
The exhibit presents images ranging from an Armistice Day parade in 1920, to swamp buggy races, to Christmas Island Style. Items and images from the MIHS collections, Collier County Museums collection, and loans from the community are included in the exhibit to demonstrate holiday celebrations that are unique to Marco Island and greater Collier County.
The Marco Island Historical Museum is located at 180 S. Heathwood Drive. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free and the site is fully ADA compliant and accessible to all visitors.
