Short description

This film examines stewardship across four of Florida’s 47 National Historic Landmarks: Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park in Cross Creek, Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Fort Barrancas in Pensacola, and the Norman Film Studios in Jacksonville. Each site operates under a different stewardship model and represents a distinct chapter in Florida’s cultural heritage. Together, they pose a central question in the field of historic preservation: what does it take to protect the places that define us, and what happens when that work goes unfinished?
