There are many exhibits, well laid out, including artifacts, videos, newspaper clippings, interactive opportunities, and much, much more. It makes discovering facts about our American history a little less overwhelming. Many things I discovered I either never learned in high school or didn't remember. Everyone I encountered who works and volunteers here is friendly and welcoming, with a terrific sense of humor. So many stories, I could go back and spend another few hours and learn even more. I highly recommend a trip to this museum. If you are fortunate enough to have Jeff as your guide, you will learn the 3 things required for victory, common to every war (Hint: W.A.O.). Find out where Kleenex got its start before manufacturing hygiene products and why Lucky Strike changed is packaging from green to white. I am very proud to be an American. The history on display conveys where we came together, where we messed up, how we learned and how we continue to grow as a nation. I learned so much in a short period of time, mostly that history is important for each of us to understand our heritage. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" --George Santayana. Thank you, Jeff, for your service and for spending your time with us.

We ventured to the Moose 1693 in Punta Gorda for food and drinks. It was our first visit here…read more When we arrived the parking lot was packed. The inside was overflowing with Moose members. We found a place at the bar and was served quickly. The bartender was friendly and never let an empty bottle sit long. She was awesome! The servers were bustling. It took a minute to get to us but she was friendly and helpful. I ordered a Moose burger and fries. She told us up front it would take a minute since it was so busy. No worries! We had drinks and waited. The wait was worth it. My burger was giant and delicious. The fries were hot and crispy. The music was awesome. Dance a little... sang along and enjoyed the variety of songs. Great music, cold drinks, and delicious food. The Moose did not disappoint. Join the Moose... and enjoy this gem of a place.

The former summer home of 1890's Architect Price was moved to History Park from the riverfront…read morealong Etta Esplanada after 2004's Hurricane Charley. The Punta Gorda Historical Society offers free tours. Inside, period furnishings, not owned by Price but donated and collected by the Historical Society, add to the atmosphere. Price was ahead of his time and recognized that the religious fervor that swept the country was a business opportunity. All the new converts needed a church. So he designed mail order churches that were sold and shipped by the thousands all over the country. Once a shipment arrived, the local parishioners could put up the structure. The Methodists still attend services in a Price design in Punta Gorda. Price's style is recognizable by its faux carillon and pointed arch facade. On the domestic front, Price didn't seem so successful. The docent pointed out the doors that lead to the outside from every room. It was first believed that this was for fire safety, but old timers soon corrected this assumption with the long-lived public knowledge that it was Price's wife who had to have quick and immediater access outside. They said she was an insanely jealous woman who chased down the sound of any woman's voice that might be in the garden with her husband. The Price lovenest was a bit of a takeoff on the cuckoo too. Price didn't build from the ground up, but chose to buy two cottages, then attached them with a center structure. It became a modern split plan with the bedrooms on one side and the kitchen and dining on the other. He also added a porch to the bedroom side of the shingled house.

At no point has any of the other student made me feel like I was holding them back or that I did not belong.
