Enjoyed this park on two levels. Firstly, it is an intriguing insight into a small community (the interpretation centre gives a really clear account of the background here). The remaining buildings and artefacts are quite poignant really but give some good example of the building styles of the time. Secondly, the park grounds are very attractive and peaceful. For $6...

We have been taking our blended family to Koreshan since the 80's. Now we have grandchildren and they love it as much as our kids did. They have added a great little playground in the picnic area which is shaded a bit so the kids aren't getting direct sun. We take the kids on a "walk in the woods" through... More

We have found Florida State Park campgrounds pretty consistently good choices for short stays. I chose Koreshan based only on it being in the FL State Park system and located where we needed.

Walking through this site reminded me of the last time I slowed down to see a... More

We took the tour by bicycle of the historical buildings and got the history told my a newly trained tour guide. I had no idea of the history of this area, and the weird way this place came into being. Besides the history, it is a beautiful piece of property with a meandering creek, lovely plants, bridges, and even one... More

This little State Park was a pleasant surprise. We went because we had nothing to do one afternoon, and this was close. I was not familiar with the Koreshans or what they believed. They were a religious sect, which, after hearing their story, I believe them to qualify as a cult. There are two imformative sights on the grounds. One... More

Be sure to go when there are scheduled "guided" tours! The story of this place is not what you would expect. A self proclaimed Mesiah ruling silently behind a group of wealthy women, who all gave up their worldly possessions to become a Koresian in the early 1900's. Oh yes, and they all believed the earth is inverted!!! That's right... More
