Norman Studios Silent Film Museum
The Norman Studios Silent Film Museum is a crucial piece of Jacksonville’s history. From 1910 through the 1920s, Jacksonville was at the center of U.S. filmmaking. Middleburg native Richard Norman played a large role in breaking the industry’s racial barrier with films that starred black actors in non-stereotypical, positive roles. Get involved in the restoration of this historic building with the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s “This Place Matters Community Challenge,” which will award $25,000 to the project that wins the most support online. Vote by September 15 at www.NormanStudios.org.
