There is no charge for this event.

Award-winning author and historian Robert Jacob brings over 50 years of experience in living history portrayals and a passion for uncovering the truths behind myths and inaccuracies in historical records. Known for his expertise in pirate history, he has authored several books, including A Pirate’s Life in the Golden Age of Piracy; Pirates of the Florida Coast: Truths, Legends, and Myths; and Blackbeard: The Truth Revealed.

During his engaging presentation, Jacob will share tales of daring adventures, treasure hunts, and legends. Drawing from his research and writings, he will explore the truths, myths, and legends of Florida's pirate past. Attendees can expect an entertaining and educational experience.

Florida's pirate history is brimming with colorful stories of plundering along the coasts and shipping lanes, from Key West to Pensacola and beyond. Jacob’s presentation will delve into these accounts, shedding light on figures like the legendary José Gaspar and the pirates of Florida’s West Coast while separating fact from fiction.

Jacob’s lifelong dedication to history earned him induction into the International Pirate Hall of Fame. His research, prompted by the contradictions in historical records, culminated in his first book, A Pirate’s Life in the Golden Age of Piracy, published in 2018 after a decade-long quest for accurate information on pirates.

The Carrabelle History Museum is presenting an interesting speaker program entitled “Flora Fusion: Exploring the Connection Between Plants and People”. This program will feature Barbara Clark, a Regional Director with the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN), and will be held Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 10:00 am - 12:00 pm ET at C-Quarters Marina, 501 St James Ave (Hwy 98), Carrabelle, FL. There is no charge for this event.

Barbara Clark will dive into the fascinating relationship between people and plants in Florida, and how it has shaped culture throughout time. Native Americans and some early settlers depended on their surrounding environment to meet their essential needs, as their grocery store, hardware store, and pharmacy. Because of this, the plants around them played an important part in their everyday lives, serving as resources for food, medicine, tools, storage, transportation, dyes, and shelter. For thousands of years, people in Florida have been learning about plants and their many uses. Archaeologists continue to uncover the diverse ways plants were used by Florida's prehistoric inhabitants and early settlers. This presentation explores the fascinating roles plants played in Florida’s history.

Barbara Clark, Regional Director for both the Northwest and North Central Regional Centers of the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN). She is a Registered Professional Archaeologist who specializes in historic archaeology, 19th and early 20th century and is also a board member of the Florida Archaeological Council and Chair of the Tallahassee Trust for Historic Preservation.
