Happy 100th Birthday, Palm Harbor!

What a better way to celebrate this event than to bring history from the Palm Harbor Museum to our PHNC luncheon in July! The Palm Harbor Museum is operated by the Palm Harbor Historical Society and is dedicated solely to collect, preserve and share the rich historical heritage of The Palm Harbor region.

Nancy McKibben, Assistant to the County Administrator, will share stories about our rich cultural heritage of the land and water, animal life, fishing, railroads, orange groves and original families of our community. In Palm Harbor times past in wilderness Florida, close-knit neighborhoods were shrouded within the grandeur of ancient granddaddy oaks, and among citrus groves, family farms, and family-owned and operated businesses of all sizes that once permeated north Pinellas County. This area as filled with springs, ponds, lakes and piers where locals of all ages swam, fished, and enjoyed cookouts together.  The local post office was in the general store—and the general store was where the neighbors assembled for the daily news and gossip. Palm Harbor was full of thriving citrus farms, ranches, university life, resorts, and local businesses of a century to a half-century ago. This community’s rich memories of small town life in which people of varied cultures settled together, loved the land, and knew and cared for one another are still deeply treasured.
 
Take a step back in time with us and celebrate 100 years of legendary Palm Harbor!
