The Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve is located in and north of the city of Jacksonville, Fl. The park was
established in 1988, and covers 46,000 acres. It protects critical wetland habitats; numerous privately owned pieces
of land also exist in the area. Fort Caroline National Memorial and Florida's oldest plantation, the Kingsley
Plantation, are in the preserve.


Timucuan Visitors Center

Inside the center, another Native American canoe on display.

This owl totem was carved around 1400/1500 AD; it is the oldest recovered wooden sculpture north of South America. It's hard for me to believe pine wood would last that long, but a sign states it is.

A dead fall trap on display


A Timucuan native hut reconstruction. They must have eaten a lot of mollusks.


A nature trail through the preserve near the visitors center.


At one point I took another short trail to a pond. I was not impressed with their pond.
