The Broward County Historic Preservation Board is pleased to announce that its 2022 Pioneer Day event will be hosted by the City of Wilton Manors on October 15, 2022, at 12 pm. We are certain your municipality or organization will want to be part of this special day, so please participate by selecting one pioneer to be honored. When reviewing your possible nominees, please consider first and foremost candidates who have made outstanding and/or unique contributions to the community. You may also want to consider your long term residents and are encouraged to seek and honor your earliest pioneers, as well. If you are historicalSociety/organization associated with a city, we ask that you work with that municipality to select your Pioneer for 2022.
