Wow! In less than two weeks we hope you’ll be joining the Jacksonville Historical Society and the City of Jacksonville at the biggest birthday party ever! We hope you will be as excited to attend as we are to share Jacksonville’s history from James Weldon Johnson Park down Laura Street to Riverfront Plaza. In addition to the activities, displays, food trucks, concerts, performances and more on June 11, here are a few more ways to celebrate our Bicentennial now and throughout the year.
