Description
On the bucolic grounds of the State Park sits the mansion and previous home of Major Robert Gamble which, in the 19th Century, served as the main building for this 3,500-acre sugar plantation. Today, reduced to 16 acres, the site remains the only surviving antebellum plantation house in south Florida, and an historic landmark where tourists can catch a glimpse into the Southern way of life prior to the Civil War.
