Florida’s reputation relies on its rich history of citrus
groves, cigar factories, ranches, and off-beat attractions.
While development and progress have washed away many
reminders of this history, a plethora of landmarks of Old
Florida still brighten the state—and are now preserved forever
in the nostalgic stories and hand-crafted images found
within the pages of this full-color book. From turtle soup
to shuffleboard; Apalachicola oysters to lawn bowling;
you’ll find delight on every page. A perfect gift for friends
and family, and a fun way to celebrate and explore Florida’s
unique heritage. Complete with historical information,
full-color map, and directions to all 73 landmarks.
Once an award-winning photojournalist, Patty DiRienzo now
focuses on replicating the nostalgic look of vintage photographs
by hand-coloring b & w portraits and creating image transfer art.
In 2002 Patty received a grant from the Florida Humanities council
to create the images in this book.
