Join us for History Happy Hour, an evening of history, conversation, and drinks at the Tampa Bay History Center.

Your ticket includes one complimentary drink and an engaging gallery talk by Rodney Kite-Powell, Director of the Touchton Map Library, exploring Mapping the 14th Colony: British Florida and the American Revolution.

Discover the often-overlooked story of British East and West Florida during the American Revolution, when Florida remained loyal to the British Crown while the original 13 colonies fought for independence. Featuring rare maps and fascinating stories from this pivotal era, the exhibition offers a fresh perspective on Florida's place in America's founding. After the talk, enjoy time to explore the exhibition at your own pace while mingling with fellow history enthusiasts.
