Event comments
Enjoy the outdoors while you explore the natural scenery of the island. The walk will begin at the legendary historically restored Ribault Club, established in 1928 as a playground for the affluent. It now serves as the gateway to the Timucuan Preserve. The walk then proceeds through Kingsley Plantation. The Plantation is an early 1800's sea island cotton plantation. You will pass remains of the tabby structures and slave quarters. Get a glimpse of the Ft. George Episcopal Church, Point Isabel and the plantation gift shop bookstore. Stop by the Visitor's Center to learn more about the history
