Fernandina Beach has a missing story.

We celebrate it one weekend a year at the Isle of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival …
but where does that story live the rest of the time?

There was once a small sh*****ng museum on the waterfront.

The Birthplace of the Modern Sh*****ng Industry deserves more than a moment …
it deserves an enduring presence.

So how do we make something like this real?
