For #MapMonday view these colorful maps and photos of Crystal River. The warm springs of this historic city serve as a vital winter haven for manatees. #DYK it’s also the only place in the U.S. where visitors can legally swim with wild manatees?! @FLMemory @America250FL

“Jewish Social Tradition” is the title of this 1970s film clip created by WFSU-TV in Tallahassee. The footage takes us into a family home steeped in 1970s style, where Hanukkah is celebrated with latkes, singing, a spinning dreidel and the lighting of the menorah. (Video BA361)

Cypress Gardens water skiers perform for a packed stadium in this clip from “Unusual World of Florida,” ca. 1964. A costumed act, kite skier and a barefoot run by Raymond “Buster” MacCalla lead into a classic scene of a boat ride through the gardens. 🎞️: floridamemory.com/items/show/253…
