exhibit examines the intersection between modes of travel and Americans' desire
to feel free to move. The story is
diverse and focused on immigration, migration, innovation, and freedom. It is accounts of immigrants coming in search
of promise in a new country; stories of individuals and families relocating in
search of fortune, their own homestead, or employment; the harrowing journeys
of Africans and Native Americans forced to move; and, of course, fun and frolic
on the open road.
Also on display
with the Journey Stories exhibit are local stories of Marvin Kahn and his
family's journey from Lithuania to Sebring, and John Skipper's family's trek
through the heartland of Florida during the Indian wars. Sebring Centennial history has been loaned by
Carole Goad and the Sebring Historical Society.

exhibition currently at the Avon Park Depot Museum featuring "Tin Can
Tourists", a group who were among the first campers who drove down from
