2010 L.B. BrownBartow is the site for the annual L.B. Brown Heritage Festival held in February. This event has become one of the best of its kind in Florida and celebrates the diversity and heritage of the community. The event is held at the historic L.B. Brown House, designed and constructed in the late 1800s by a self-taught master carpenter, Lawrence B. Brown. It contains nine rooms and is approximately 1700 sq.ft. It is an impressive structure adorned with heavy Victorian ornamentation. The home is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places and may be the only one of its kind in Florida, still in existence, that was built and owned by a former slave. The three-day celebration is free and open to the public. It features storytellers, lectures and presentations from prestigious scholars, music and entertainment, food, crafts and more.
