Stephen Foster Cultural Park

by Admin23 Post a Comment

Last week of February we took the RV to Stephen Foster Cultural park in White Springs Florida. If you are in that area I would recommend this as a great park with much to do... IF the buildings are open...so check on that first. 



It's located off the Suwannee River so you can rent canoes or bring your own.  This time the river launches were closed due to the high level of water and flooding.  Safety issues.  We walked to the river a few times, noticed how fast it was flowing and how high.  One of the benches was underwater.

This bat house was quite active.  When we walked up we heard them squeaking.




This house was magnifcent.  The grounds are lovely to walk about and I wish the buildings had been opened.  Maybe soon that will change and we can go back and see the house and craft village.



I was peeking in the windows of the front entrance and snapped this shot of the door opposite.  I'm a sucker for the old door or window shots.


Gardens surround the house and immediate area. Azaleas and camelias were in bloom, lots of small flower gardens were being tended and I thought it was so pretty.


Love this lamp.




The Carillon bells were silenced by an electrical storm some back and they are working on restoring it.   It gave bell concerts four times a day.


You'll feel you've stepped back in time when you wander about the old buildings. 

More door photos.

We are looking forward to going back and made reservations for October.  As I said, if you have a canoe or kayak you can float down the river but they rent them if you'd like to do that. We had a few campfires but ran out of wood so, next time we will prepare better.

You can see Doug in the upper right and Loki hanging out by the firepit.  Loki looks good in his new red harness, in my opinion :-)


Next trip will be River Junction in Georgia, an Army Corp of Engineer park with good ratings. It's near a river but not on it as the one we like at Lake Seminole.  

That's all I have for now. Camping update and still waiting on the vaccine.....
