2017 St Johns River Bartram Frolic on the Riverfront in Palatka, Florida
September 30 and October 1
Celebrate the fabulous St. Johns River and the 243rd
anniversary of William Bartram’s visit to Palatka.
In the fall of 1774 William Bartram experienced what is known as the Indian Frolic at Spalding’s Lower Store. His 9-month stay on his favorite river in Putnam County is documented in Bartram’s masterpiece Travels. The annual St. Johns River Bartram Frolic on Palatka’s riverfront will celebrate our National Heritage River, the Bartram National Recreation Trail in Putnam County, and offer our county as a historic eco-tourism and recreation destination.
