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. Dickman was much admired as a strong proponent of fiscally conservative policies although some of those positions, today, would be considered insensitive towards the poor in the name of that fiscal conservativeness. Researchers can quite easily follow his work on the Commission by reviewing large numbers of news articles written about the Commission in Tampa papers.

Show more1957 Photograph of the Wimauma Church of God Tabernacle. Wimauma was the site of annual COG Camp Meeting that attracted 1000s of visitors from Florida and the SE part of the US. (From an article written by Charles Nelson (Historian for HCC Ruskin History Project and the Ruskin Library and published in the Osprey Observer, June 7, 2019) The Church of God was founded in Tennessee in 1886 and is the oldest Pentecostal Church in America. The annual camp meeting is a cherished tradition of the Church and is still widely held. Florida’s Wimauma Camp Meeting is the oldest and largest Church of God camp meeting site in the United States still in operation. Pentecostals had been holding camp meetings at Pleasant Grove, near Durant, for many years before the turn of the 20th century. Most major denominations sponsored at least one camp there a year and rather than continuing to share, the Durant Church sought a new exclusive location. In 1913, land along Tiger Lake (now Lake Wimauma) was selected as the permanent camp and purchased by the Church of God at Durant. The scenic beauty of Lake Wimauma had a lot to do with building the camp in Wimauma. The first Wimauma Camp Meeting was held in 1914 and housed in an open-air barn. Campers slept in tents on the ground. A larger Tabernacle replaced the original structure in 1924. Separate male and female dormitories, an expanded tent ground, a cafeteria and, later, small cottages were built to house a growing number of camp goers. As crowds expanded, a third Tabernacle was built: an open-air structure that seated 3,700 worshipers. It was later expanded to seat over 5,000. The open-air construction served late arriving worshippers who could bring their own chairs or sit out on the campgrounds to listen to the five daily services. A fourth, fully enclosed and air-conditioned structure was built in 1985, which continues to serve the annual camp meeting and houses today’s Wimauma Convention Center.
