Worth visiting, only takes a few minutes to stop and check out this historical site. Nice place to take some interesting pictures.

This was a cute garden to visit when it was too cold for us to go to the beach. Big enough to be interesting but small enough that it could easily be walked in it's entirety in an hour or so.

Stayed at the RV park for 4 night. Had a great time. It is beautiful. Awesome lake in the back that is beautiful, orange trees, squirrels and geckos. Bike/walking trails, nice trail to a shopping center with a Publix, not far at all. Nice outdoor pool and patio. Cheap drinks and ice cream. Very nice people. We really enjoyed ourselves... More

ever wonder how they managed to produce molassas and sugar in Florida? Visit the Ruins and appreciae for how hard it was to be a slave in nineteenth century Florida, Makes one ashamed ot the people white men call their ancestors.

We found this by accident. Small but informative. Self guided with a small but pretty nature trail that made us feel we were in a jungle. It only takes 30 minutes of your time but worth it.
