Tales of Island Life, Issue 13: December 2025

Dear Tales Readers,

The new Boca Grande History Center is now open at the Crowninshield House. There are many photos in this issue to show the exciting exhibit that tells many stories from island history. In this issue we are including stories about the Charles and Jane Engelhard, the history of the Community Center building and Part 4 of the diary of Harrison Condon from his 1961 vacation in Boca Grande. The first three stories from the diary are available in previous issues of Tales of Island Life.

Thanks to all our members for their support of the Society and the History Center. We’d love to include your Boca Grande stories in the next Tales. Send them to us by mail, email or phone:
