The History Center lets you try your hand at the pursuits of Famous Floridians

Orange County Regional History Center’s History Alive program on Saturday is the only (there, we said it) display of civic pride we can get behind this particular holiday weekend.

The event allows you to get up close and personal with actual artifacts from famous Floridians who actually made the world a better place. Hence, let your fingers dance over the typewriter of Eatonville’s own iconic author and activist Zora Neale Hurston.

And peep some paintings from human ASMR, painter, instructor and arts advocate Bob Ross. Paints will also be available for you to try your hand at some happy trees.

10 a.m. Saturday, July 5, Orange Country Regional History Center, $10.
