Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park

I finally got to visit the Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park which is basically adjacent to our RV park. Despite its proximity it wasn’t easy to get to, requiring a long drive down a narrow dirt road. I paid the $4 fee and got in to see… not much. There are some ruins, yes, of the sugar mill. But no ruins of the plantation mansion itself. The plantation was a major sugar cane provider from 1820 to 1836 when it was destroyed in the Second Seminole War. That war, by the way, was due to the Seminole Indians objecting to the US Army trying to move them out of Florida. Who knew they would be so sensitive?

It looks like there were some nice nature trails within the park. But there are also some nice ones outside the park. If I wanted to walk I would save the $4.
