“From Pines and Palmettos:
A Portrait of Largo, Florida”

Capture the spirit and flavor of a by-gone era through the eyes and words of those who carved a thriving city from those meager Southern flatwoods.

Don’t miss an opportunity to own this wonderful hard-cover book. It’s destined to become a treasure for generations.

On the first Saturday of each month *, the Society opens the Feed Store to the general public from
