ANNUAL HISTORY COMES ALIVE

Plan a visit to the Dunedin Historic Cemetery on Saturday, February 27, for the 20th annual History Comes Alive, a living history program celebrating Dunedin's past. Actors or family members recreate the lives of Dunedin residents who are buried in the cemetery. They chat with guests about their careers and life in Dunedin. Participants have scrapbooks, newspapers, and artifacts related to the people they are portraying. This year's theme is "School Days." Some of Dunedin's earliest teachers will share memories and stories from Dunedin's first schools, such as the Brick Schoolhouse on Louden and Wood Street (built in 1913), and the original junior high on Beltrees (built in 1926). Other volunteers will discuss their family history, such as Mr. and Mrs. Houghton and one of Dunedin's military veterans. Visitors can try on vintage clothing and take their pictures posed behind a large antique frame, which gives the appearance of an old-time photograph. As in years past, the Museum thanks Alice and Tom Anderson for their generous support and sponsorship. We also thank Vince Gizzi and the City of Dunedin's Parks and Recreation; Florida Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs; and all the volunteers and staff. The event starts at 10:00 am and ends at 2:00 pm; come anytime and stay as long as you like! Admission is $5 per person and parking is free. The Dunedin Cemetery is located at 2400 Keene Road in Dunedin (just south of Virginia St.) For information call 736-1176.
