This was our last camping site before returning to Tallahassee for Christmas with family.😊
Kingsley Platation
This plantation had a very interesting history. An African princess was captured by slave traders and she ended up here at this plantation. She eventually became Mr. Kingsley favored wife and had responsibilities running the household and supervising the work of other enslaved people.
intentionally like houses in an African village. (In
our travels down the southeastern coast, we’ve been more exposed to the history of slavery in our country. It is hard to imagine what it was like to be snatched from your home and then endure the cruel ship transport across the ocean
only to be bought and sold like cattle. Thinking about the loss of freedom, the humiliation and cruelty endured is really heart wrenching! The stories of endurance and bravery by enslaved people remind us that there is dignity in the human spirit that can’t be taken away by the cruelty of others.)
Beautiful walk around the Little Talbot Park.
Following a recommendation for a great place to eat, we hopped on a ferry to cross the river. To take our vehicle would have cost us 16 dollars. To walk on it was only a dollar each. Guess which one we opted for?
Safe Harbor Restaurant was only a 10 minute walk from the ferry.
