Encore Third Thursday Lecture Series – The History of Deep Lake

Due to popular demand and social distancing restrictions, we are added a second presentation of the March “Third Thursday” lecture.

This presentation will dive deep into the history of this strangely mystical place—a sizeable sinkhole surrounded by a citrus grove that has been the home of Native American leaders, the site of a bloody battle, a retreat for millionaire moguls, and the location of a wilderness prison known as the “Alcatraz of the Everglades.”

Seating is limited at the museum due to COVID-19 social distancing restrictions. Guests should arrive at least 5 minutes prior to the beginning of the program or their seats may be given to others waiting on stand-by. Interested parties need to call  the museum (252-5026) to make a reservation.
