My first introduction to Sulphur Springs and Spring Hill was when I signed up to volunteer for the USF Heritage Research Lab in the Summer of 2009. \u00a0 I began working with other student volunteers in Sulphur Springs and was introduced to the Sulphur Springs Museum and Heritage Center and two of its founders Norma and Joseph Robinson.\u00a0 Norma took us on a walking tour of some of the points of interest in Sulphur Springs, including the Harbor Club.<\/p>\n

The Harbor Club, formerly the Tourist Club, was\u00a0founded in 1937 by a group of Michigan and Ohio\u00a0tourists. It was once an all white club. Finally in\u00a01984 membership to the Tourist Club fell\u00a0down to 100 and the club was closed. It was\u00a0renamed the Historical Harbor club which at the time of my visit, was a\u00a0restaurant. It also housed different events such as\u00a0the Poetry Slam and parades. What remains from\u00a0the old Harbor club is a parking plaque\u00a0entangled in the tree on which it was fixed. \u00a0Note the text on the plaque: \u00a0“Parking for Tourist Club Only.”<\/p>\n
