“I spent my childhood running through the woods and on the beaches of Palm Valley, Florida. I was just a boy and I loved where I lived.”

For the residents of Northeast Florida, Palm Valley and the Mickler family are synonymous because their history is so intertwined. This is the story of Sid Mickler and the story of Palm Valley and its people, and the lives they lived, and the work they did, and the tremendous changes that they experienced during the 20th century.

This is a great story, one that needed to be told and remembered.
