See history come alive at the Bartram Living History Festival!

Celebrate William Bartram’s legacy at this St. Johns County Parks and Recreation event held at stunning Alpine Groves Park. Considered the first American-born naturalist, William Bartram fell in love with the flora and fauna he observed along the St. Johns River and, just over 250 years ago, recorded the region’s plants, animals and indigenous people. His book "Bartram’s Travels," which recounts his adventures, is considered one of the most important scientific books of the time and is still in print today.

Come meet "William Bartram" and other historic characters as interpretive performers share the stories of these figures. The day also includes tours of the Harris Bennett House (shown), part of an orange grove homestead, that remains breathtakingly picturesque.

In addition, you can enjoy historical demonstrations, live Americana music, crafts for the kids and food and drinks from the Salt Run BBQ food truck and Sour Filly drink truck.

📍 Alpine Groves Park, 2060 SR 13 N, St. Johns, FL
🕙 This Saturday (May 3) • 10 am-2 pm
Free admission!
