The program will begin at 2 p.m. at the historic Hallstrom House and will be followed by refreshments. Gould’s presentation is the final program in the Society’s 2011-2012 series “Telling Tales.”
Gould, a former president of the Historical Society, is a fourth generation native of Florida and a longtime resident of Vero Beach.
After earning a journalism degree at the University of Florida and working for more than 20 years as a newspaper and magazine writer and editor, she joined the staff of WQCS radio station in 2004 to conduct an oral history project.
From that project, she created the popular “Floridays” show, which is heard on WQCS and on “Florida Frontiers,” the statewide program of the Florida Historical Society.
During her presentation at the Hallstrom House, she will share stories that she has collected from Indian River County residents over the past eight years.
The Hallstrom House will be open at 1 p.m. for informal tours before the program begins at 2 p.m. The house is located at 1723 Old Dixie Hwy. in Vero Beach, one mile south of Oslo Rd.
