Mandarin Museum Third Thursday Lecture: Notable North Florida Women

Posted on November 1, 2016 By Editor

Harriet Beecher Stowe was not the only notable North Florida female face who moved between Jacksonville and Mandarin with impact. Other women, if not physically, were emotionally tied to the two St. Johns River villages. Stowe, along with Jacksonville Founding Mother Nancy Hart, Commodore Rose, Eleanor Pritchard and Hester James McClendon are other names of interest in the early North Florida story.

Speaker: Emily Lisska, a Mandarin resident and Jacksonville native, is Executive Director of the Jacksonville Historical Society. She is  a Past-President of the Mandarin Community Club and a member of the Mandarin Museum and Historical Society.  Emily is also President-Elect of the Florida Historical Society.

This event will be presented on Thursday, November 17 at the Mandarin Community Club, which is located at 12447 Mandarin Road. Refreshments are at 6:30 pm with the presentation at 7:00 pm.
