May 16th A New State Park visited- Forest Capital State Park

Got here only to discover I had failed to bring my Passport book along.... DOH!!!

Welcome to Forest Capital Museum State Park

The importance of forestry in Florida dates back to the early 1800s. The museum celebrates the heritage of Florida's forest industry. The heart of the museum is dedicated to longleaf pines and the 5,000 products manufactured from them. The 50-plus-year-old longleaf pines growing on the museum grounds provide a majestic canopy and create an enjoyable walking trail for visitors. Adjacent to the museum is an authentic 19th century Cracker homestead, much like those scattered throughout Florida at the turn of the century. Rangers lead interpretive tours during special events and upon request. Three covered pavilions, that seat up to 60 people each, are available.

I did get the stamp for this park, and a pin as well, as well as pins for Florida Caverns, Fanning Springs, and a nice generic park pin, to go along with my very nice Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center pin from the other day.    

I also visited Lafayette Blue Springs Park, but it was not manned, so I'll have to try again .  Fortunately, it's only about 4 miles away.
