100 Voices: Yesteryear Stories of Coral Gables – School Days: Tales from In and Out the Classroom

Although the walls of the Merrick family home can’t talk, people certainly can! And there are plenty of stories to tell.

As Coral Gables approaches its 2025 centennial, the Merrick House brings you One Hundred Voices. This series of informal gatherings highlights the people, places and plots of the City Beautiful’s first century through stories shared by locals who have lived it. There will also be bits and bobs from history buffs.

Sunday, November 6–School Days: Tales from In and Out the Classroom

Gablelites Gay Bondurant, Lon Dowlen, Petsy Mesey and June Morris recall the halls of their grade, middle and high schools as well as what was done for fun before playdates were a thing.

Join Coral Gables Merrick House for a chat on the following Sundays starting at 4:30 PM.

As always, the House is open for regular tours Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, 3:00 PM.
