Experience hands-on African American cultural traditions and folk ways of life in the early 1900's in rural Florida.
“For years we had talked about preserving the concept of the farmers from the past centuries, and the two of them always wanted us to preserve their techniques. They said it was important because it was part of the history of rural Florida, They inspired me to do it, and my father will be there; he’s never missed a year.” - Danny Sylvester | 
Three of the people who inspired Danny Sylvester to establish the Living Heritage Day festival in 1995 are shown here in a photo from that year. From left, are his father, Thomas Sylvester, his uncle, Coy Sylvester, and his son, Philip Sylvester (in front).- Courtesy of Danny Sylvester
