Wesley House

Bucolic Eden Gardens State Park

Sitting on 163 acres in northern Florida, the beguiling Wesley House and Eden Gardens harbor a mix of good and bad history and generations of inhabititants. You’ll learn their stories during the tour. But my favorite part was mingling with the many oak tree sentinels, towering above the house with twisted gnarly branches, breezy moss and a canopy of shade. Take a tour with me and follow my feet…

The graves of Margaret and Raymond Robins. Mosaic Monday.

  4. Wow, what a great place. Old house, big oak trees, interesting and compelling history. Sign me up. And then some ancient history. Hunting sloths, wow!

  5. I love gnarly old oak trees dripping with moss. Very atmospheric. Most history has the bad with the good, but it looks like a wonderful place to visit and enjoy.
