Three Chimneys Walking Talk & Tour by Ormond Beach Historical Society

Registration for this free lecture has closed as tour group has reached capacity. Originally known as the Swamp Settlement, this historic site was established around 1768 on a portion of 20,000 acres that were granted by King George III to a wealthy Scottish slave trader named Richard Oswald. The 300 cleared acres, with several substantial buildings, was the first successful British sugar plantation, sugar mill and rum distillery in the United States, and was operated until England ceded Florida back to Spain after the Revolutionary War. This FREE lecture is part of OMAM's "America at 250: Florida’s History Through Power, People & Place" series. Registration is requested as seats are limited.
