Just returned from a visit to the home. Interesting but they are just starting on the restoration.
More interesting was chatting with the people in the several different tents (dressed in period clothes). Especially interesting was a man who makes the historic bull whips used by the Florida Crackers. He demonstrated several, and they really do crack! Also there were several Civil War reenactors who made great presentations including a 16 year old who is a walking encyclopedia of everything Civil War era.
Well worth a couple hours of your time.
