Dave Heckaman will be presenting at AWTHS on Thursday, March 9 at 7pm. The program will be about the Ft. Jefferson Memorial Park project.
Heckaman will give a presentation about the historical importance of “forgotten” Fort Jefferson and the recent attempts of the Friends of Fort Jefferson to acquire land adjacent to the present park, prepare grants, raise support through public relations, and plans for future development and interpretation of the site.
Our speaker has quite a historical history:
Education: B.A. in history and M.A.T. from Miami (Ohio) University.

School District east of Cincinnati. As well as many awards, performances, publications and displays at various museums.
