History lives in the streets of Tampa’s Downtown. The Native American tribes that inhabited the rivers and coast called this place home long before recorded history and made the most of the area’s resources. The Spanish settlers who built communities here and gave the city it’s name. And the American troops at the start of the nation utilized this fantastic location for strategy. As the 20th Century began Tampa was one of the fasted growing cities in United States. Home to hundreds of factories and a growing metropolitan area. Immigrants and celebrities, mobsters and politicians, and some of the best kept secrets in The American South.

From the bones of Native Americans below the buildings to the Mass Graves of the Yellow-Fever pandemic, the streets of Tampa, FL are crawling with spirits. Stories of genocide, murder, mayhem, and mobsters in what was once called “The Wild West of The South.” Visit the famous and illustrious Tampa Theatre. Learn about the Mobsters and Movie Stars in The Sapphire Room at The Hotel Floridan. Finish with a close encounter of The Sacred Heart Church erected in 1860. Factual stories of history and horror await.

Come along with us for a 90-minute stroll through the shade and learn why Tampa is one of the most unique cities in America.  Happy hour to follow after!
