History presentation delights crowd in Nocatee

Posted

More than 300 people crowded into the Nocatee Crosswater Hall on Feb. 2 to hear local historian and author Scott A. Grant deliver a presentation on the history of “Ponte Vedra, Palm Valley and Nocatee.”  The throng of residents and curious locals were ecstatic as they listened to the well-crafted presentation, even those forced to stand in the back and along the sides. They laughed, they exclaimed, and they smiled as Grant took them on a journey through 400-plus years of the unique history and culture in this area, from Ponce De Leon to Ernest Matthew Mickler.
