When I learned about the Mayan excavations in the area, and the possibility that the dugout/boat on…read moredisplay in the museum may be of Mayan origins, I knew that I would end up here eventually. Many years passed until I finally had the opportunity to visit. I was not disappointed. The location of this park is very urban, but once you enter the park you feel like you are in a magical land, with the river, the sun, the moon, the marshes greeting you. The pottery found looks strange to me, I see an extraterrestrial and a spaceship. One of the rock pillars also has a similar extraterrestrial face, and one of the hands in the pottery has tattoos on it. I don't know what happened here, but I "feel" something here, and I like it. This place feels like sacred ground. I hope that I can visit again and again.

I called the Homosassa PO and spoke to Jason, the trouble shooter and he tracked my package and was able to locate it, something the tracking number I was given didn't do. He gave me much encouragement that I would receive it sometime soon, Covid has turned our world upside down. I was very impressed with the time he spent with me on the phone and what a great guy, I could tell he takes his occupation very seriously. Thank you Jason for your concern and help!! You are a asset to your place of employment and I am grateful you answered my phone call that day!! Debbie H PS, got my package 2 days later.

I have sent many friends and family to this office.

The United States has a dark past and it is markers like this that help remind us so that we can…read morenever let it happen again. This marker points out one of those events. On the front, "Racial violence erupted in the small and quiet Rosewood community January 1-7, 1923. Rosewood, a predominantly colored community, was home to the Bradley, Carrier, Carter, Goins, and Hall families, among others. Residents supported a school taught by Mahulda "Gussie" Brown Carrier, three churches, and a Masonic lodge. Many of them owned their homes, some were business owners, and others worked in nearby Sumner and at the Cummer Lumber Mill. This quiet life came to an end on January 1, 1923, when a white Sumner woman accused a black man of assaulting her. In the search for her alleged attacker, whites terrorized and killed Rosewood residents. In the days of fear and violence that followed, many Rosewood citizens sought refuge in the nearby woods. White merchant John M. Wright and other courageous whites sheltered some of the fleeing men, women and children. Whites burned Rosewood and looted livestock and property; two were killed while attacking a home. Five blacks also lost their lives: Sam Carter, who was tortured for information and shot to death on January 1; Sarah Carrier; Lexie Gordon; James Carrier; and Mingo Williams. Those who survived were forever scarred." And on the reverse, "Haunted by what had happened, Rosewood residents took a vow of silence, lived in fear and never returned to claim their property. That silence was broken seventy-one years later. In 1994 survivors, including Minnie Lee Langley, Arnett Turner Goins, and Wilson Hall, filed a claims bill in the Florida Legislature. A Special Master, an expert appointed by the Speaker of the House, ruled that the state had a "moral obligation" to compensate survivors for the loss of property, violation of constitutional rights, and mental anguish. On May 4, 1994, Governor Lawton Chiles signed a $2.1 million compensation bill. Nine survivors received $150,000 each for mental anguish, and a state university scholarship fund was established for the families of Rosewood and their descendants. A fund was also established to compensate those Rosewood families who could demonstrate property loss." It is marker number F-407 and it was erected in 2004 by The Real Rosewood Foundation, Inc. and the Florida Department of State. [Review 369 of 2025 - 2020 in Florida - 23931 overall]

A sign now marks the site on SR 24 where the Rosewood community once stood. I believe in visiting historical landmarks, and knowing the stories of the past. I grew up about 45 minutes from Rosewood, and didn't know about this event until I watched the movie as a teenager. I visited this site in high school, but before the marker was dedicated. The Rosewood Massacre is a sad part of Florida's (and African American) history. Thankfully (and prayerfully) we can all learn from it and be better humans.

Seemingly, there is a worm hole at the intersection of U.S. 24 and U.S. 19 and one can get a glimpse of what Florida used to look like, pre-and-post-Columbian. When visiting Cedar Key, I always feel a lot further away from home than I actually am. It doesn't look and feel like any part of Florida that I make daily contact with at all. It's remote, small, sleepy and far removed from the touristy beaches of Clearwater and the theme parks of Kissimmee. This is where people who know how to "get away" come to vacation. Cedar Key is a small fishing community (about 2 sq. miles) that brings in millions of dollars annually with its clams and oysters. However, you'd never guess that by driving around. It modest and relaxed. Sure, there are a few big ass houses here and there, but for the most part, the vibe is down-to-earth. The average price of a house right now is just above $300,000. Not much to do after 9 or 10 P.M. As I stated before, it is sleepy, so you're not going to shake your tail feather until the break of dawn, but during the day, there is plenty of fishing, kayaking and dolphin watching to do. There are places to eat and get a cold beer every few feet on Dock Street and along the downtown area, so relaxing is easily achieved, especially with the constant gulf breeze. The population here is currently right around 700. There are more people living in my neighborhood than this entire fishing village. This is easily one of my favorite "Florida on a Tankful" destinations. I could even envision calling it home.
