About this Event

LECTURES AT THE HOUSE OF REFUGE
150 Years of History. Stories You Won’t Want to Miss.

For 150 years, the House of Refuge at Gilbert’s Bar has stood as a witness to the history of Florida’s Treasure Coast. Now, we’re bringing some of that history to life through the Oceanside Lecture Series—an exciting lineup of talks exploring the people, events, legends, and stories that shaped our coast.

From shipwrecks and pirates to Prohibition, rum runners, and the fascinating world beneath our shoreline, there’s something here for every history lover, curious local, and Florida enthusiast.
