Description

The Koreshan State Historic Site got its start in 1894 when religious pioneer Cyrus Reed Teed brought followers to the area to practice their form of faith, Koreshanity. The utopian group was called Koreshan Unity, and believed that all life existed within a hollow sphere. By 1961, the group had dwindled to only four members, who decided to deed the 305 acres of land to the state of Florida to remember Teed. Today, visitors can enjoy the park's many amenities, which include a nature trail, canoe rentals, fishing on the Estero River, a picnic area, boat ramp, and campground. Some of the original buildings of the Koreshan Unity group are also visible, and are preserved for visitors to explore through guided (or non-guided) tours.
