The Bay Area is alive with the pulse of the boomtown years (circa 1875-1925) and the excitement generated by the statewide effort to locate, preserve, and share the first-mover newspaper that chronicled those stories-The Tampa Daily Times.

To raise the further recovery and preservation efforts, Reclaiming Our Heritage hosts the following boomtown era-themed programs to raise public awareness of and appreciation for the project:

Florida Heritage CELEBRAT!ON is a Bay-wide, week-long festival for all ages heralding Tampa Bay's earliest years of explosive growth with the theme "...from cracker to flapper!" For more details and event dates, click here.

HipStory Learning Adventures is co-produced with Big Brothers Big Sisters as a HipStory curriculum (hip stories of our past) that brings alive our region's boomtown tales for kids. For more details and event dates, click here.

h² Events (aka, Heritage Happenings) are heritage-themed social gatherings geared around stories of our past-milestones that bring alive our region's boomtown tales for adults. For more details and event dates, click here.
