Florida cracker Martha Jane Pacetti tells, in her earthy style, of her early struggles living in the primitive Florida of the 1800s. Born on Spruce Creek, she marries at 14 to a fisherman in his forties who owned all of what is today South Daytona. She endured the Indian Wars as a child and then the Civil War separated the couple but through hard work, they created a thriving business before selling land for the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse to the Federal Government. You won’t want to miss this special presentation as Diane Jacoby provides an in-character portrayal Martha Jane’s tragic and amusing life in early pioneer Florida.
