A project celebrating the history of Ruskin, Wimauma, Gibsonton and other communities in south Hillsborough County is building momentum at the SouthShore campus of Hillsborough Community College (HCC).
The HCC campus in Ruskin is an historically appropriate place for the project to unfold, given that Ruskin was founded more than a century ago on the principles of higher education and intellectual expression.
…….In 1911, the Dickman family also built the house Miller lives in today. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is an official landmark of Hillsborough County. The house is unsurprisingly a point of pride for Miller, who followed in the intellectual footsteps of his grandfather and served as a British literature professor at New College in Sarasota from 1964 through 2003.
