The sweet history of chocolate draws thousands to St. Augustine
Tourism in St. Augustine got a delicious boost last winter when UF researchers introduced a free exhibit about the history of chocolate, created thanks to a $14,000 Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Chocolate History Grant.
UF professor Clarissa Carr, Ph.D., and UF Master of Historic Preservation student Anthea Grant, pictured above, were recently awarded an additional $17,000 to conduct further research on cultural traditions related to cocoa production.
