Rui Farias is the Executive Director of the St. Petersburg Museum of History. Located on the St. Pete Pier, the Museum of History has been sharing the stories of the Sunshine City for 103 years, and now he shares them you.
Says Rui: "Back when I used to teach history at St. Pete High, I would try and instill the importance of knowing your community’s history. Whether it’s the founding fathers & mothers, or the birth and grow of your city, and yes, even the bad or uncomfortable history. I truly believe that once you understand the history of St. Pete, how we started, what we’ve gone through, how we’re still trying to grow and improve, you can’t help but fall in love with this city. It’s even easier if you’re a native."
