This picture, from the Joni Maschek archives and labeled as a 1908 photo of the Ruskin hotel was the first residence for George Miller and his family. In some of the interviews of the children (some of which are contained in the site, you will find references to their time in this hotel. Miller's first goal was to create a town in the vicinity of the hotel, which he intended to call Venoa, was abandoned because of the difficult terrain at the end of Shell Point. At that point, he began searching for land on properties owned an abandoned lumber camp which included lands along the Little Manatee River where Ruskin is now located.

Show moreCopy of County Government Resolution honoring Paul Dickman for his service on the Hillsborough County Budget Commission from 1944 to 1972. Mr. Dickman was chairman of that group from 1965 to the end of his service. The Budget Commissions was a powerful commission that decided on budgetary allocations for the county.

Researchers can quite easily follow his work on the Commission by reviewing large numbers of news articles written about the Commission in Tampa papers.
