Ybor City is a National Historic Landmark District famous for being the cigar capital of the world and the cradle of
mutual aid societies. This Latin district, full of rich ethnic traditions,
is entertainment and unique shopping.
Memory Box Collections is a company dedicated to keeping the rich cultural heritage of the Latin Community
alive. Many customs were shared by the immigrants who settled Ybor City. Perhaps by recollecting the past we
can share a smile, a story or a memory...
and encourage these memories to live on.
