From Sharon Koskoff on FaceBook:


Professor Seth Bramson is coming to the Art Deco First Wednesdays Free Lecture Series at the Armory Art Center, West Palm Beach on Wednesday evening, February 6th at 7:00 pm. He is South Florida’s foremost and premiere historian. Seth is America’s single most-published Florida history book author with 16 of his 21 books dealing directly with the villages, towns, cities, counties, people and businesses of the South Florida Gold Coast. 

He is the Company Historian of the Florida East Coast Railway—one of only two people in the country who bears that title with an American railroad—and his book, “Speedway to Sunshine” is the official history of that famous line. His collection of FEC Railway and Florida transportation memorabilia is the largest in the world: it is larger than the State Museum’s collection and larger than the Flagler Museum’s collection.

A graduate of Cornell University’s famed School of Hotel Administration, he holds Masters degrees from St. Thomas University and Florida International University, both here in Miami. He is Adjunct Professor of History and Historian in Residence at Barry University and Adjunct Professor of History at FIU, where he teaches all of the University’s south Florida and Florida history courses. In addition he is Historian in Residence at FIU’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.
