Introduction
In 2026, Florida joins the Nation in celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. As part of America250FL initiatives, the Museum has updated the Exploring Florida booklet originally published in April 2013 as part of Viva Florida 500.
Florida's human and natural landscapes have changed dramatically in the last five centuries. Viva Florida 500 was a statewide initiative to mark the onset of these changes and also celebrate the vibrant and dynamic cultural legacy that has resulted. To help young people visualize and appreciate Florida's growth over time, this booklet features eight paintings by artist Christopher M. Still and related activities that explore different eras in state history.
