Join the Florida Public Archaeology Network at the Back To Angola Festival this year! We’re excited to be a part of this incredible celebration, honoring the brave settlers and survivors of the Angola settlement along the Manatee River. This historic community, home to freedom seekers between 1812 and 1821, will be celebrated with activities, exhibits, and more.
Stop by the FPAN table to learn about the archaeology and history of the Angola settlement, as well as how you can get involved in preserving and exploring Florida’s fascinating past. Our team will be sharing resources, interactive displays, and information on local archaeological efforts. It’s a great opportunity to engage with experts and deepen your understanding of this important chapter in Florida’s history.
Come explore, learn, and celebrate with us at the Back To Angola Festival! We look forward to seeing you there!
