Adult Programs

Book Group

Grab a cup of coffee and join us once a month for an informal discussion about the best in Florida literature. Topics range from fiction to food, poetry to politics.

OLLI Courses

The History Center is proud partners with USF’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute to offer courses on Florida history and culture.

Florida Conversations

Florida Conversations is co-sponsored by the USF Libraries Florida Studies Center and supported by WUSF Public Media, and features authors and presenters covering a variety of Florida topics, from politics to fiction, history to environmental issues.

Sangria & Stories

Sangria & Stories is a casual, fun way to hear the hidden stories of the History Center’s permanent collection and temporary exhibits. Special guest speakers discuss a single object, a temporary exhibit or selected pieces from the permanent galleries. Program includes free under-building garage parking, gallery presentation and a glass of sangria. Space is limited to 25; reservations are required. Make an evening of it and have dinner at the Columbia Cafe before or after the program.

Tap Talks

Grab a friend, raise a pint and let’s talk history. Tap Talks take place at local breweries around the bay area. Check the event calendar to see what’s brewing.
