Museum of the Everglades Exhibits and Events

 

 

August 31 - November 27, 2021

Pauline Reeves Gallery 


 Guest curator Cesar Becerra created this traveling tribute to William and Mary Brickell: early pioneer settlers in South Florida whose story has been largely diminished or even ignored in favor of a more romantic narrative. The exhibit explores the marginalization of the couple’s role as the co-founders of Miami as well as their contributions to the birth and growth of commerce in South Florida as a whole.

Third Thursday Lecture Series

The Skunk Ape, “South Florida’s Bigfoot"

 

October 21, 2021 @ 2:00PM


 Just in time for Halloween, this presentation explores the cryptozoological mystery of the Everglades bogeyman known as the Skunk Ape. The roots of the Bigfoot/Yeti archetype in cultures around the world will be discussed  along with local Native American legends and historic sightings of this odiferous, swamp-dwelling furry humanoid. A Q&A session after the talk will feature local expert Dave Shealy of Skunk Ape Headquarters in Ochopee (author of the recently published “On the Tracks of the Skunk Ape”) and Brad Bertelli of the Florida Keys History & Discovery Center (author of the recently published “Florida Keys Skunk Ape Files”). Both guests will have signed copies of their books available for purchase.

Third Thursday Lecture Series

Trading Posts of South Florida—Early Commerce on Florida’s Frontier

 

November 18, 2021 @ 2:00PM

 

 

 In recognition of National Native American Heritage Month, this presentation will focus on the role of frontier trading posts in the development of relationships between the indigenous people of South Florida and white settlers who came to live in the region. The evolution of trade and commerce in frontier society—beginning at remote outposts accessible only by water and later all but eradicated by the building of the Tamiami Trail—will be discussed at length.
