Railroads and the Growth of Agriculture
Speaking of History Lecture
Sunday, February 21 at 2 p.m.
 The dawning of the 20th century brought with it a pronounced growth in the production of fruits and vegetables that could be delivered to the main population centers by rail, providing people with food almost year round that previously had been only available for a limited amount of time during their respective local growing seasons.
A presentation by Bill Welch on Sunday, February 21 at Heritage Village in Largo highlights the technologies, the infrastructures, and the people that made it possible for many of us to eat more balanced diets and consequently live longer lives. Period photographs of the era will present a rich journey into the farming and transportation industries of the time. The program is sponsored by the Pinellas County Historical Society. Free –donations are welcome and support programs at Heritage Village.
