‘Soggy Bottoms & Sandy Shores’

Posted on May 4, 2018

The Taylor County Historical Society is diving deep into the county’s past for its 2018 banquet celebration – 14,000 years deep to be precise.

Florida State University (FSU) anthropologist Dr. Jessi Halligan, who discovered clues in the Aucilla River that humans occupied the southeastern United States 1,500 years earlier than previously thought, will be the keynote speaker for the Saturday, May 19, event.
