Seminole Heights Garden Center
5810 Central Ave.
Old Seminole Heights


For the past six weeks, USF students have been roaming the neighborhood surrounding Lake Roberta, armed with cameras and clipboards, conducting heritage research projects in collaboration with the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Associationâ??s Preservation Committee (OSHNA). They have collected historical and archival data specifically focused on the Hampton Terrace Neighborhood and conducted oral history interviews with community elders.

Under the direction of Dr. Antoinette Jackson of the USF Department of Anthropology, the Heritage Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) was designed to help prepare participants to study heritage as a key cultural resource in areas such as quality of life programs and policies, education, tourism, historic preservation, youth activities, and neighborhood revitalization.

An analysis of Seminole Heightsâ??both past and presentâ??will be profiled through presentations by USF student researchers on Wednesday, June 20, 2007 at 7 PM at the Seminole Heights Garden Center, 5810 Central Ave. We invite your attendance to view the fruits of their research, learn more about your neighborhood and meet your neighbors.
