Passing Through History: The Tales That Turds Tell, Oct. 21, 1:30 p.m. – 3 p.m.
Many think that archaeology is about finding arrowheads and bottles. Artifacts. Things. However, Archaeology is all about discovering the untold stories of our past and these things are merely a tool to help us reveal that past. While these artifacts may be pretty, sometimes the ugliest and most disgusting ones tell us the best stories. Join Tristan Harrenstein, of the Florida Public Archaeology Network, to learn how ancient feces can produce amazing nuggets of truth about our past.
Hybrid class in person at TSC and on Zoom. $5 fee.

Apalachicola Pearl with Mike Kinnett Thu., Nov. 18 1:30 – 3:00 p.m.
Michael Kinnett, Author of The Apalachicola Pearl Novel Series, Apalachicola Pearl, Apalachicola Gold, and Apalachicola Mother of Pearl will discuss the novels and how he came to write them as well as some Apalachicola’s history. It was in the historic town of Apalachicola he began caring for the Orman House Historic State Park Museum. The Orman family archive is extensive, and soon found himself immersed in local history, and for thirteen years, shared Apalachicola’s rich heritage with thousands of visitors from around the world. We’ll examine Apalachicola’s commercial rise to power and its fall on the eve of the “Terrible War”, known today as “The Civil War”. We’ll examine how the Orman family and other prominent citizens of the time became entwined into the storyline. The author will separate fact from fiction and introduce the characters he created to bring Apalachicola’s history to life. Michael Kinnett states, “The Apalachicola Pearl series of novels was born from my passion for the town’s history and its unforgettable people. My sincere wish is for you to enjoy reading my Apalachicola Pearl series as much as I enjoyed writing them.”
