January 30th:
History Mystery - Miramar Beach Was Once Shoals, Florida- Hank C. Klein
Destin historian Hank Klein tells the story of a town that was once where Miramar Beach, Florida is located today. The area that we know as Miramar Beach was once known as Shoals. Today nobody seems to remember Shoals, not even the history buffs. Learn about the long-lost cemetery, as well as who actually named the area we know today as Miramar Beach. Hank Klein has long been interested in the history of Destin, Florida. Hank also has a monthly “History Mystery” column in the Destin Log newspaper.
