About the event
Greetings Fellow Sharks,
Join us for a trip back in time to the antebellum mansion home of Major Robert Gamble. This is the only surviving plantation house in South Florida and was the headquarters of an extensive sugar plantation. In 1925 the mansion was refurbished and donated to the state of Florida. Come learn a bit about Florida history, enjoy a tour of the mansion, and browse the museum before we go to lunch.
