Town of Everglades Celebrates the Opening of the Tamiami Trail, 1928

Description

A Florida Indian tribal member greets American entrepreneur, Barron Collier, and Dr. Fons A. Hathaway, the Chairman of the State Road Department, during the opening of the Tamiami Trail. The road connected Tampa to Miami. It was built to provide egress into the Southern peninsula of the State, and some Natives––called the Trail Indians––established tourist sites along the roadway.
