Here’s what some concerned residents had to say about the future of Central Florida’s history:
"There are large numbers of smaller pockets of historical centers. The challenge is to merge these into a regional economy."
"There was history before the white man came to Florida."
"We need a mission statement for history."
"What does it take to feel connected? Many citizens are "from" somewhere else."
"History – we must build it, collect it, restore it, remember it and create it."
