In 1952, the Historic Asolo Theater, originally built in 1798 in Asolo, Italy, was reassembled in Sarasota, providing a dedicated venue at The Ringling for the performing arts.

Fingers fit for holding on! 💪 Ring-Tailed Lemurs are more terrestrial than other lemur species, but they are still well adapted for climbing! 🧗 Finger pads provide extra traction when these lemurs leap from the ground to branches and treetops! 🌳

Since 1958, the Conch Tour Train has been a go-to way to explore Key West, winding through the narrow streets of Old Town. The open-air train follows a set route past some of the island’s most notable landmarks, including Mallory Square, the Southernmost Point, and the Ernest Hemingway Home, with guides sharing stories along the way. More than just a ride, it offers a structured look at Key West’s history, all without needing to navigate the island on your own. @America250FL
