Tell Your Story

The Office of Historic Preservation is conducting a Context Study about the Migrant Farmworker Community. This project hopes to expand understanding of the history and important places related to the experiences of the migrant farmworker community with the goal to share a fuller history representative of the lasting impact this community has had on the growth and change of Miami-Dade County.

We want you to share the stories and experiences of the historic people, buildings, sites, and landmarks that are important to you and the Migrant Farming community. These could be places that still exist or are no longer here.

Examples include:

• Houses
• Churches
• Cemeteries
• Stores
• Community centers
• Parks
• Playgrounds
• Schools
• Restaurants

We welcome learning about all types of places important to your community. We would love to hear from:

• Native American and Indigenous heritage
• Latinx and Hispanic heritage
• African American and Black heritage
• Women’s heritage
• LGTBQ+ heritage
• Asian American heritage
• Religious minorities
