The Highwaymen, also referred to as the Florida Highwaymen, are 26 storied, world-renown African American landscape artists who originated in the City of Fort Pierce. The Highwaymen Heritage Trail is a self-guided engaging and educational experience that recognizes these mostly self-taught landscape artists who have strong local, state, national and international significance.
We cordially invite you to explore this website that is designed to complement the Trail’s large kiosks, site markers, and significant public art. It is chocked full of oral histories, professional research, video, and dynamic images that we hope will help convey the plight, fortitude, entrepreneurial spirit, and accomplishments of these late Jim Crow-era African American Florida Hall of Fame artists from Lincoln Park, an iconic minority neighborhood in Fort Pierce.
