Visit St Petersburg Museum of History, then lunch downtown St. Pete
Special exhibition: Meddling: The Women Who Built St. Pete
From the Pinellas Peninsula's first settlers to the trailblazers of today, women have always had a hand in the development of St. Petersburg. Referred to as "meddling" by historians for stepping out of gender norms and into male-dominated spaces, these women were politicians, civic leaders, educators, real estate developers, business owners and more. Through photographs, info panels, artifacts and video, this exhibit shares the stories of the women who created the Sunshine City. This exhibit was made possible through funding by the Adelphi Trust Company, the first trust company in Florida founded, owned and led by women.
We have arranged a docent tour at 10 am on Friday, Nov 3. It will be an overview of the museum and some of the special exhibitions available including the highlighted one above.
Lunch will follow at Noon at Fresco's Waterfront Bistro across the street at 12:15pm. Food Menu - Fresco's Waterfront Bistro - Seafood Restaurant in St Petersburg, FL (frescoswaterfront.com)
