NEWLY EXTENDED! Cattle Keepers: The Heritage of Seminole Cattle Ranching examines the history of the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s cattle industry. The Seminole cattle industry has its roots in the beginning of the 16th century when the Spanish brought cattle to Florida and continues on today as one of the leading cattle processors in the state of Florida. Come examine this storied history which is not only part of Seminole history but of the entire state of Florida.

This exhibition contains forty-seven photographs produced from the original negatives taken by Florence Randle and her niece Phyllis Sheffield, who commercial photographers with a studio in Coconut Grove, Florida in the 1940’s. These photographs chronicle the lives of the Seminole people who lived along the Tamiami Trail and in the Musa Isle Indian Village during the 1940's and 50's. The photographs are on loan from the South Florida Community College Museum of Florida Art and Culture and are further enhanced with artifacts from the museum's collection that closely relate to them.
