SUMMARY:The "Rosin" Fall of Turpentine in Nassau County
DESCRIPTION:Turpentine was a ubiquitous ingredient in American household products including paints\, medicines\, soaps\, lamp oil\, ink\, lubricants\, hair spray\, and cosmetics\, just to name a few. Pine trees would be tapped for sap and resin which was used in the production of making turpentine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to listen to John Hendricks\, Director of the West Nassau Historical Society\, who will explore the economic and social impact the turpentine industry had on the development of Nassau County. He will take you on a remarkable hundred-year-long journey from the first turpentine still founded in the late 1850s through its heyday at the turn of the 19th century to its waning years in the 1940s and 1950s.

SUMMARY:History of Agriculture in Nassau County
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fascinating presentation on how the region’s agricultural sector persisted\, despite serious challenges\, and continued to contribute significantly to the county’s economy by the late 20th century. \n\n\n\nCommercial agriculture in Nassau County dates back to the 18th century when a highway was constructed from the northern colonies to St. Augustine\, leading to the establishment of plantation systems. After the Revolutionary War\, Nassau County was transferred back to the Spanish\, who re-established plantations\, initiating the first land boom. In the 19th century\, the area saw battles between Americans and Seminoles\, leading to the relocation of the Town Seat of Government from Fernandina to Sand Hill. The 20th century witnessed the boom of the timber and Long Leaf Pine industry\, with significant developments in agriculture\, marked by the introduction of County Agricultural Agents in 1915 and the growth of the truck farming industry in South Florida in the 1920s. The Great Depression and subsequent decades brought challenges\, but the region’s agriculture persisted\, contributing significantly to the county’s economy by the late 20th century. \n\n\n\nDavid Hebert\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker David Hebert is an Extension Agent I in Nassau County\, FL. This presentation is based on his research of a collection of historical documents.

SUMMARY:Culloden to the Carolinas: Scottish Immigration
DESCRIPTION:Terry Talbert\n\n\n\nThe Amelia Island Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting at 7pm on the 3rd Tuesday\, 20 February 2024\, in the community room at the Fernandina Branch Library. The public is invited to join us! \n\n\n\nThe brutal Battle of Culloden on April 16\, 1746\, was the conclusion of the Jacobite Rebellion that sought to replace George II with his Scottish (and Catholic) kin of the Stuart line. The subsequent proclamation by the Duke of Cumberland\, aiming at the devastation of the Jacobites\, led to a wave of exiled Highland Scots looking for a new life in the Americas\, in particular in the Carolinas. This program covers the events before\, during and after the battle\, as well as the assimilation and migratory paths of the Scots in the United States. It will conclude with a look at their situation today\, and at the prospects for Scotland’s freedom and independence from England. \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Terry Talbert\n\n\n\nTerry Talbert holds undergraduate degrees in Architecture\, French and English with a Masters in English and a MBA. She is currently tracing her Scottish and French ancestors. As a novice genealogist\, she is learning with every discovery.

SUMMARY:The Hendricks/Demonbreun Family Tree
DESCRIPTION:The Amelia Island Genealogical Society will hold its regular monthly meeting at 7pm on the 3rd Tuesday\, 17 September 2024\, in the community room at the Fernandina Branch Library. Speaker for the evening will be John H. Hendricks of Callahan\, Nassau\, Florida. \n\n\n\nJohn was born in Jacksonville\, Florida\, in 1959\, the youngest of five children. His family lived outside of Callahan\, Florida\, in a small house located within yards of the Atlantic Coast Line’s main double-tracked line. Those many trains constantly racing by his home day and night would forever cement in his psyche his love for trains and railroads. While growing up\, John loved to draw and study railroad maps\, road atlases\, and old buildings. He would pursue these interests at the University of Florida\, where in 1988 he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in construction and design. Upon his return to Callahan in the 1990s\, John ‘s new appreciation of historic structures and buildings eventually led him in 2005 to join the West Nassau Historical Society. He is currently president of the all-volunteer 501c3 nonprofit\, which is based inside the quaint\, yet historic 1881 Callahan Train Depot. John uses his position with the Historical Society to further foster and promote Nassau County’s rich and diverse history and culture. One of the highlights of his many years of historical research is the 2012 publication of his book on Daniel Callahan\, a prolific Irish American railroad contractor and his hometown’s namesake. \n\n\n\nJohn still resides in Callahan and can be reached through the Historical Society’s Facebook page or via email: jhendricks459@aol.com
