A glimpse of “Old Florida” homes built by the leading entrepreneurs of the time.

The River view from under the Banyon trees is mesmerizing.
The gardens are beautifully kept and represent Ford’s interest in finding new plants to create new products for the industries emerging in the early 1900’s.
Visiting at holiday time in December, is magical with all the lights.

A bit of both Old Florida and what’s happening now. The Shell Factory has an amazing collection of SHELLS and taxidermied animals of all continents. The live animal zoo is fun. There’s a restaurant, a theater for fun plays, and often there are “farmer’s market” and yard sales during the winter season.
