Cruise, nibble, and hear some stories!

UPDATE: Almost 100 Historical Society supporters enjoyed a perfect November Sunday cruise. 

The Historical Society of Sarasota County (HSOSC) is hosting its 21st Cruise and Tour of Sarasota Bay on the LeBarge tour boat on Sunday, November 4, 2012 from 11 am to 1 p.m.  The cruise will be narrated with fascinating facts about Sarasota by popular local historian John McCarthy while guests enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast and a cash bar at noon.

You haven’t seen Sarasota by sea without this glimpse into how our city and county came to be. Cruise along the shoreline of the Bay and catch glimpses of modern-day Sarasota while listening to tales of our past.  Enjoy the sunshine and refreshments as John McCarthy paints an enthralling portrait of the formative years in Sarasota’s growth.
