The Southern Hillsborough County Historical Connections Project is a collaborative endeavor between the SouthShore Campus of Hillsborough Community College (HCC) and esteemed community partners including the Ruskin History Project, Inc., the Firehouse Cultural Center, the Ruskin Women's Club, the Sun City History Center, and the International Independent Showmen's Museum. This ambitious undertaking aims to document and celebrate the diverse townships south of the Alafia River, weaving together their unique narratives into a tapestry of regional heritage.

This project was made possible through funding from the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay and the HCC Foundation.
