Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park, Hawthorne

We truly enjoyed our visit to this historic site. The guides were able to bring the house and grounds to life with their narratives plus answer in detail our questions. A group of early school age summer camp children were kept engaged by the guide/storytellers painting pictures and demonstrations of an American literary figure's sense of place and time past in central Florida.

The museum, itself, is enriching, and wonderful. The grounds, within and without the museum enclosure, are not large, but they are heavy with Spanish moss and charm. There is a lake and a boat launching ramp. The people are friendly. It is a little piece of Florida beauty
