Journey through time during our History Talks program series! History Talks delves into the layered histories of Miami and greater South Florida. Hosted by HistoryMiami Museum’s Resident Historian, Dr. Paul S. George, and presented in conversation with a community stakeholder, this lecture series will explore the history of some of Miami’s boom era communities—Miami Shores, Coral Gables, Opa-locka, and Hialeah.

A History of Hialeah with Dr. George

Celebrate the 100th anniversary of the City of Hialeah! Once known as the Gateway to the Everglades, this community was applauded for its world-famous racetrack at Hialeah Park—which attracted notable figures such as Winston Churchill, Princess Grace of Monaco, and Elizabeth Taylor—and its once larger-than-life welcome sign featuring the likeness of Jack Tigertail, a Seminole tribal member.
