The best set of historical photos is in the new Rohan Center. There is one for almost every year going back to the 1980's. A careful review will show how much the Development has altered the landscape, with ponds, plantings (and wood lot clearing) and significant commercial and traffic areas. Most interesting to me are the 2 years showing the creation of "Lake Sumter" by bulldozing out the remains of a peat bog mining area, using the dirt to create the Lake Sumter landing district. If interested, you can also track development over the years of the "Family Compound" on HY 466 East of the polo fields property.
