Historical Walks

History isn't only found in textbooks—it surrounds us every day.

One of my favorite projects is leading educational walking tours through the historic district of Eau Gallie, where participants explore the places, stories, and people that helped shape our local community.

Together, we slow down, observe, ask questions, and discover that every historic building has a story to tell.

Our walks include topics such as:

• The founding of Eau Gallie and early settlers

• The development of the community during the late 19th and early 20th centuries

• Historic homes and architecture

• St. John's Episcopal Church and its role in the community

• Local businesses and everyday life in early Florida

• How transportation, the lagoon, and the railroad shaped the area

Rather than simply learning dates, participants experience history by walking the same streets, visiting historic landmarks, and discussing how the past continues to influence the present. These walks encourage observation, critical thinking, conversation, and a deeper appreciation for the place we call home. They are suitable for homeschool families, students, lifelong learners, and anyone interested in exploring the history of Florida's Space Coast.
