Description
Back Porch Of The Kitchen by D Hackett
In the mid-1800s, the Dudley family, progressive farmers of their time, moved from Charleston, South Carolina to North Central Florida. Three generations of the family owned and worked the then 640-acre piece of land. For over 150 years, the Dudley family successfully maintained livestock, crops and large vegetable gardens. Eighteen original buildings constructed between the 1880s and 1945. Also dating back to the 1800s are hand-stitched quilts, a large quilting frame, an 1835 Bible carried by P.B.H. Dudley through the Civil War, photographs and farm implements.
Dudley Farm is now a Florida State Park and this 325-acre historic state park offers an opportunity to see how Florida family farms evolved from the 1850s until the mid-1940s. Dudley Farm is an authentic working farm. Its buildings have been restored or are currently being restored to their original condition.
