Cafe & Shopping on grounds


Working Garden & Grape Vines

Parlor /w piano...a very wealthy family in those times.

Intricate wheels...

Amazing ingenuity...

led to answers to problems.

The waterfall still provides power to the mills.

Covered bridge...not a sight we see in Florida.  :-)

Inside the sawmill...Ecclesiastes 3:1 was posted.
