- Wed., Nov 4, 6:30 PM - In honor of Veterans Day, Community Advocate and Researcher Susan Cobb presents Beyond the Headstones: Honoring Those Who Served. Hidden among the quiet rows of Palm Harbor's Curlew Pioneer Cemetery are stories that shaped a nation. From a veteran who served in the War of 1812 (the oldest soldier laid to rest here ) to the four hometown heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, each headstone holds a tale waiting to be rediscovered. Michigan native Susan Cobb spent 32 years in the beauty industry. Inspired by her maternal grandmother, she developed a deep love for genealogy; retirement has allowed her to pursue that passion. After researching and adding to the list of Veterans for the City of Dunedin, she has dedicated the last four years to researching and creating biographies for those interred at the Curlew Pioneer Cemetery with the desire to honor their stories, preserve histories and bring meaning to the lives of others through her research. All welcome at no charge.
- Wed., Dec 2, 6:30 PM - America250—A Musical Celebration! Joy Katzen-Guthrie and guests bring you a program to listen to and sing along with historic American music to cap off this year's American Semiquincentennial.
