The barn looked huge, but only housed a wagon, some tack and the tool shed to the left....as you could see from the previous pictures, the barn is about the size as a 1 1/2 car garage today.

A replica of one of Marjorie's cars...it was told on the tour she crashed more than drove, and had a 4 horn signal used for the neighbors to come pull her out!

A tree on the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings site fighting off the spanish moss that just loves to take over all the trees in Florida.

This old ice cream churn sure brought back memories of my childhood and home made ice cream....I wonder if Dad would have been so ready to make it had he had to hand crank it?

A quaint "duplex" as we would know it today. Probably better than most homes in that area and era!

One of the many gates on the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings home site. This one welcomes you into another time...the moss covered tree is alive but a reminder to all of us what a struggle it can be to fight off time and stress. How long before this tree will finally succomb to these 2 worldly afflictions?

Though the barn houses this beautiful wagon and VERY old wheelbarrow, a hen was looking for a place to lay her eggs in the hay.

At the home site, this simple picture is but a glimpse of the uncomplicated life led at this home. No wonder it was her sanctuary!

I didn't see any Craftsman tools in this shed...just the simple tools used on most farms in the 30's and 40's.

without one small place of enchantment to turn to.
