I went today, April 27, with a group of 5 friends. The house is fortunate to have most of Marjorie's furnishings. The docents are very knowledgeable and tell her story so that the Florida of the 1930's comes alive. For a parking fee of $3 per car and a tour fee of $3 per person, this is one of the... More

I am so glad we waited to visit this State Park on a day the tours were available. It made the house and grounds much more meaninful. It as we visited the house while Marjorie had popped out to the grocery store. Everything was still intact and offered authentic glimpses into her life (what books were in the sitting room,... More

The property is mildly interesting, but not worth going out of your way for unless you are sure you can take the tour. The directions we... More

A wonderful glimpse into the life of a literary treasure, and into life in old Florida. More

This is a peaceful, engaging visit into the past. A good way to add an hour or two to your day visit to nearby Micanopy. More

Really lovely place to walk around and take in the beauty of natural Florida, especially in the spring when orange blossoms are blooming! More
