Local historian Susan Gillis will be the speaker at the Historical Society's public program on Wednesday, November 16th. She will present an illustrated talk on her recently-published book, Broward County: The Photography of Gene Hyde.

Mr. Hyde came to this area in 1933 and for about half-a-century documented life in Broward County. Ms. Gillis' book collects his best works, using them to show how the region grew and developed into a major urban area. The book includes many photos of Pompano Beach.

The program begins at 7:00 PM and will be held at the Historical Society's Dick & Miriam Hood Center at Founders Park, 217 NE 4th Avenue, Pompano Beach.
