Journey to the wilds of South Miami-Dade and check out exotic (but tourist-friendly) spots like Musa Isle, the Miami Rare Bird Farm, Coral Castle and Jungles reserved for Monkeys, Orchids and Parrots!

Writer and history consultant Sylvia Gurinsky guides this trip through time, and with vintage film and video from the Wolfson Archives in your rear-view, you’ll get a fun and fascinating tour of the roadside attractions that enticed visitors to Florida in the days before Disney World.

RSVP to Kevin Wynn at kwynn@mdc.edu or 305-237-7732

“Roadside Florida” is a co-presentation of the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives at Miami Dade College and the Miami-Dade Public Library System.
