I spent a Friday morning here. It was super quiet with plenty of time to enjoy each piece of art. It fit in beautifully with the reading I've been doing lately - "A Land Remembered" and anything by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. If I'd seen this art (especially the mural at the beginning with native Florida plants) sooner, I would have been able to better visualize what I read. Here's to Florida!

The Casements

This former home of J. D. Rockefeller has a very interesting history. The free entry (donations are welcome) is nice, and if you can - call ahead for a guided tour (with the bonus of seeing the third floor). An app for our phone for a self guided tour was available which gave us a nicer experience than just wandering around by providing a narration at individual stations throughout the house. With so much information about J. D. Rockefeller & Standard Oil, and plenty of memorabilia from that era, we easily spent a couple of hours visiting.

There is major bridge construction where the actual entrance is, so it is hard to find. We parked and walked to look for it. it was definitely worth the extra effort!
