Join us Friday, August 7, as the Museum of History celebrates the 70th Anniversary of Elvis Presley’s first appearance in St. Petersburg!

Award-winning journalist and author historian Bob Kealing will present the riveting story of Elvis Presley’s rise to fame in Florida – including that fateful 1956 performance at the Florida Theatre in downtown St. Pete. Kealing will discuss his book, ‘Elvis Ignited!’ Which provides a road map to Elvis’s time in the Sunshine State.

Be on the lookout for other fun surprises, too! Perhaps an appearance by the King himself?
