Homestead Town Hall Museum

Ruth Campbell is the director of the Homestead Town Hall Museum. She is 89 years old and has lived in Homestead most of her life. Campbell Drive in Homestead was named in honor of her family. Ruth is a wealth of knowledge, not only of Homestead, but most of South Florida. If you ever have the time to stop in and listen, she can tell you all about South Florida's history. The museum itself is small and quaint, but houses Homestead's original Fire truck as well as other relics of Homestead's past including photos and books. I wanted to get a portrait of Ruth beside the Fire truck because I believe she is as much a part of Homestead as it is. Being the warm and generous person she is Ruth graciously accepted my request.
