Perry Women’s Club to explore history of the Big Bend Feb. 14

Posted on February 9, 2024

How did Deadman’s Bay get its name?

Where did the expeditions of Panfilo de Narvaez in 1528 and Hernando de Soto in 1539 land in Florida?

Dr. James “Jim” Dunbar with the Aucilla Research Institute (ARI) will explore the history of the Big Bend area, which appears to be older and more complex than previously thought.

Dunbar will be the guest speaker at the Wednesday, Feb. 14, meeting of the Perry Women’s Club (PWC), beginning at noon.

The meeting will be held at the clubhouse located on North Jefferson Street. All members are encouraged to attend and bring a friend. Guests are also welcome.
