The Seminole & The Seminole Wars

Join us for a fascinating event delving into the history of the Seminole people and the Seminole Wars. Learn about their culture, traditions, and the conflicts they faced. This in-person event will be held at the Bonita Springs Fire Department Station 24. Don't miss this unique opportunity to expand your knowledge and immerse yourself in the rich history of the Seminole tribe.

Jacob Winge, a master story teller, will provide a history of the Seminole Wars. Spanning from 1817 to 1858, these three conflicts between the United States and the Seminole people stand as the longest and most costly Indian wars in American history. This program will highlight significant causes and moments across the decades of conflict as well as the lasting legacy of the wars, from the forced removal of Native peoples to the survival of the unconquered Seminole Tribe in Florida today.

Jacob is a Fifth Generation Floridian and recognized Public Historian. He is a member of the Brigade of the American Revolution and the Southern Conference on British Studies. He is a former Board President of the Friends of the Collier County Museums, the Florida College System Student Government Association, East Naples Kiwanis, and East Naples Civic & Commerce among Board service with over thirty nonprofits, chambers, and government advisory boards.
