Collier‑Seminole State Park protects one of the three original stands of royal palms in Florida. This rare grove was first set aside in the 1920s by Barron Collier, who wanted to preserve the unique landscape of Southwest Florida. Collier dedicated this land to all who fought in the Seminole Wars, the event that led to the first documentation of the palm grove. *** 📍: Collier-Seminole State Park 💡: Plan your historic encounter at FloridaStateParks.org.

This massive, 120‑foot‑deep sinkhole has revealed layers of Florida’s natural history from prehistoric shark teeth and marine shells to the fossilized remains of extinct land animals. Today, Devil’s Millhopper remains one of Florida’s most unique geological landmarks, offering a rare look into the state’s ancient past and the natural forces that shaped it. *** 📍: Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park 📸: Courtesy of the Florida Memory, circa 1900 💡: Plan your historic encounter at FloridaStateParks.org.

Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park has been a landmark of North Florida for centuries. The park was once home to Seminole communities, Spanish ranches and even a lake where steamboats crossed. Running right through it is the Gainesville–Hawthorne State Trail, a 16-mile path built along a historic railroad corridor. What was once a “trader’s path” and later a rail line is now one of Florida’s most scenic routes. *** 📍: Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park 📸: Courtesy of the Matheson History Museum 💡: Plan your historic encounter at FloridaStateParks.org.

Happy Ponce de León Day!   In 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León made the first recorded European landing in Florida. His search for new lands and the legend of a “Fountain of Youth” remain enduring parts of Florida’s story.   At De Leon Springs State Park, visitors can experience one of Florida’s most beautiful natural springs while reflecting on the history, stories and myths that shaped early Florida. While the spring is not Ponce de León’s actual “Fountain of Youth,” it continues to inspire curiosity about Florida’s past. ***   📍: De Leon Springs State Park 💡: Plan your historic encounter at FloridaStateParks.org.

History runs deep at Anastasia State Park. Long before it became a favorite spot for beach days and nature walks, Anastasia State Park played a major role in building St. Augustine. More than 300 years ago, workers here quarried coquina rock, the same stone used to construct the Castillo de San Marcos. Today, the park’s landscape still carries the story of Florida’s oldest city, blending natural beauty with centuries of history. *** 📍: Anastasia State Park 💡 : Plan your historic encounter at FloridaStateParks.org.

The Barnacle Historic State Park isn’t just a house; it’s a window into Florida’s coastal past and a tribute to one man’s enduring love for nature and community. The park preserves the legacy of Ralph Middleton Munroe, a pioneer, sailor and conservationist who helped shape Coconut Grove’s early identity. Built in 1891, The Barnacle is the oldest home in Miami-Dade County still standing in its original location. *** 📍: The Barnacle Historic State Park 📸: Courtesy of Florida Memory, circa 1970 💡 : Plan your historic encounter at FloridaStateParks.org.
