The Florida landscape has provided aesthetic inspiration to artists for centuries. Titian Ramsay Peale and John James Audubon came in search of native flora and fauna, followed by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Martin Johnson Heade, George Inness, Winslow Homer, and Henry Ossawa Tanner, who were lured by its natural beauty and warm climate. This presentation offers a succinct and engaging history of Florida’s landscape painters.

Join the Gulfport Historical Society as they take a stroll through history in Gulfport. The tour examines the creation of this small seaside hamlet; the tour guides—all Gulfport locals with a penchant for history and storytelling—share the town's history and stories with the group. The tour starts at the Gulfport History Museum where you can take a peek at some of their historic photos.
Tour is free for Gulfport Historical Society members. All others pay $15 per person. These tours sell out, so advance ticket purchase is highly suggested. Members should pre-register to ensure they have a spot.
