The Silver Palms Schoolhouse is located in the Redlands, a historic rural agricultural community in…read moreMiami. It took its name from the pockets of red clay that cover a layer of oolitic limestone. The Redlands produce tropical fruits, many of which do not grow elsewhere in the US. I love a trip to the Redlands which is filled with farm stands and roadside tables selling fresh grown produce. Other highlights of the Redlands include Schnebly Redland's Winery and their fruit wines, Knaus Berry Farms and their cinnamon rolls, and Robert is Here and their fresh fruit milkshakes. I especially love all of the historic buildings from the early 1900's like this school house that you can find in this area. In the early 1900's, the town of Silver Palm developed near the intersection of Silver Palm Drive and Newton Road. The area was known for it's pinelands and good hunting. The name came from the small silver backed palm fronds that grew in the surrounding pinelands. In 1900, Charles Gossman, Charles Hill, and William Anderson who built the first general store in the area filed the first homestead claims in Silver Palms. The Silver Palms Schoolhouse is located at Silver Palm Drive and Newton Road. It was built across from Anderson's General Store giving rise to calling the area Anderson's Corner. In 1902 the community contacted the Dade County School Board and were promised a teacher, if they could provide a building. The men got together and put up a log schoolhouse. The first teacher Charles R. Ross was hired at $40 a month. Ross took a roll call the first day and only had nine students but they needed 10 in order to open the school so one of the kids went out and brought back Gossman's four year old daughter Mildred. A typical day at school started at 8 AM and ended at 3 or 4 PM. Subjects taught included arithmetic, penmanship, spelling, grammar, and history. Lunch was one hour and the occasional bobcat might run through the area. Two years later there were more children in the area so the two story Frame Vernacular building was built in 1904 and became the first rural school built in the area making it the oldest school in south Dade. In 1916 the school closed when it was consolidated into the Redland Farm School. On July 2, 1987, the school was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Silver Palm has now been absorbed in the Redlands. The only two buildings left are the school house and general store. The school is now a private home. I was out exploring the historic structures in the area when I found the school. I started chatting with the owner who was working in his yard and he invited me in to see the living room. According to him after the school closed the building was purchased by a doctor who used it for his practice and residence. I would love to live in a building with so much history. It was such a treat getting to see the inside of the house.

This is a memorial marker to Special Agents Jerry Dove and Special agent Benjamin P. Grogan. On…read moreApril 11, 1986, Special Agents Jerry Dove and Benjamin P. Grogan were killed in southwest Miami, Florida, during a gun battle with robbery suspects William Russell Matix and Michael Platt. Agents were conducting surveillance in connection with a series of violent bank and armored car robberies. They observed a suspect vehicle and attempted to stop it which resulted in a high-speed chase. Matix and Platt engaged in a gun battle with agents during which 145 rounds were exchanged in less than 5 minutes. Dove (30) and Grogan (53) were killed and five other agents were injured. Special Agent Edmundo Mireles, Jr. was shot in his left arm but he was able to use his right arm draw his service revolver, and kill Matix and Platt. This incident is regarded as one of the most violent episodes in the history of the FBI. It has been studied in law enforcement training. As a result the FBI and many police forces switched from revolvers to more powerful semi-automatic weapons. The 1988 film In The Line Of Duty: The FBI Murders is based on this event. In 2001, the Village of Pinecrest, Florida, which incorporated in 1996, honored the two fallen agents by co-designating a portion of Southwest 82nd Avenue as Agent Benjamin Grogan Avenue and Agent Jerry Dove Avenue. Street signs and a historical marker commemorate the naming of the roadway in honor of the two agents.

The entrance to the trail that takes you to the bridge is a little past the Deering Estate. You can park your car on the side of the road and walk down until the road ends. That is where you pick up the trail that is only open to foot and bike traffic. Half way down the trail is the colorful bridge. The bridge was built in 1918 by Charles Deering who was a Chicago industrialist. The bridge was built to allow him to cross Cutler Creek to his retirement home. When Mr. Deering built the bridge he moved a portion of the original Cutler Road, which was located on the property he purchased that included the abandoned town of Cutler. The Chinese theme of the bridge reminded him of his travels in the Pacific as a young naval officer. I have wanted to find the bridge for quite some time. The hike to the bridge is an easy one that anyone can do. On my way to the bridge I saw a cardinal fly right past me. If you are in the area this is a very pleasant walk to take and this is a nice place to take a picture. I really like the history of this area which not only includes the Deering estate but ten thousand years of human occupation including 10,000 years of nearly continuous human occupation including Paleo-Indians, Tequesta settlements, Seminole hunting grounds, and Bahamian and Florida Cracker homesteads.
