Located in Osprey, Florida, Historic Spanish Point is a museum complex and archaeological site with preserved pioneer dwellings, Native American remains, and lovely garden landscapes. Included in the gardens, are the Fern and Jungle Walk with a scenic aqueduct, and a Sunken Garden and Pergola.
The historical things on the site are quite fascinating. There's an Indian burial mound, an archaeological exhibition built inside a shell mound, and an old house built in 1901 that once belonged to the Guptill family.
Historic Spanish Point is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, and from 12:00 to 5:00 PM on Sundays. Admission for adults is $12.00, and for children, $5.00.

ReplyDeleteYes, it really is me! :) I'm so glad to get back here and check out the latest garden on your lovely, visual site. A First Nation's people burial ground makes this all the more fascinating.
Have a peaceful weekend, dear Sherry.
