The Winter Park Timeline

Located in the gallery adjoining The Heritage Collection is The Hannibal Square Timeline, a wall-size timeline exhibit which juxtaposes significant events within west Winter Park with national events pertaining to African-Americans, from the Reconstruction to the Civil Rights

Movement, giving a broader context for understanding. The timeline was inspired by a similar timeline in Evanston, Illinois. Shorefront, an organization committed to preserving the African-American heritage of Evanston was founded by Dino Robinson. Mr. Robinson designed the timeline from historical information provided by members of The Heritage Collection team including Peter Schreyer, Executive Director and Founder of the Heritage Center, Fairolyn Livingston, Community Historian and Dr. Ron Habin, Anthropologist.

The Hannibal Square Heritage Center is a project of the City of Winter Park and the Community Redevelopment Agency, operated by Crealdé School of Art, a non-profit organization, and the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Winter Park. Crealdé School of Art is a non-profit art organization supported in part by memberships, the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs; the Florida Arts Council; United Arts of Central Florida; and various private foundations.
