How well do you know your Florida history? You can find out with The Florida Memory Timeline Challenge – a brand-new interactive feature from Florida Memory!
As we celebrate America250FL, Florida Memory and the State Archives of Florida invite you to test your knowledge of American Revolution History by sorting a series of cards featuring historical events, figures and documents in their correct chronological order.
Of course, Florida has been writing its own unique chapter in American History long before 1776, and the Florida Memory Timeline Challenge covers all of Florida’s history, from its earliest inhabitants all the way through the 21st century. The challenge features over 200 events across numerous categories.
