Renovation work began Tuesday, July 9th on a building that will become the Fort Pierce Highwaymen Museum.
The project is being overseen by the City of Fort Pierce, in collaboration with the Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) and the Original Florida Hall of Fame Highwaymen. They are planning a ceremony at 10:30 AM on the same day, just before the renovation begins, to mark the start of the project.
The building that is being transformed to eventually house the Highwaymen Museum is currently the historic Jackie L. Caynon, Sr. building located at 1234 Avenue D. It was named in honor of the late Jackie L. Caynon, Sr., the first African American elected official in St. Lucie County and a distinguished five-term Fort Pierce City Commissioner.
