Henry B. Plant Museum Talk and Tour, Tampa
Tuesday, December 11, morning
Learn about the history of the Plant Hotel (now part of the University. of Tampa) with OLLI faculty member and Plant docent Beryl Byles. Then enjoy the annual Christmas Stroll through the museum as we see how the hotel was decorated for Christmas in the 1890s. The hotel is one of the special landmarks of the City of Tampa, and the museum has preserved much of the history and decor of the hotel's heyday and the opulence of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The history talk is free, and there is a fee for the museum entrance and Christmas Stroll. The museum is across the Hillsborough River from downtown Tampa. Call Don Clark at 813-985-4859 for reservations, questions and directions.
