Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Park

Fodor's Review:

The presence of Rawlings, whose works include The Yearling and Cross Creek, permeates this National Historic Landmark home where the typewriter rusts on the ramshackle porch, the closet where she hid her booze during Prohibition yawns open, and clippings from her scrapbook reveal her legal battles and marital problems. Bring lunch, and picnic in the shade of one of Rawlings' citrus trees. Then visit her grave a few miles away at peaceful Island Grove.

  • Cost: $2 per vehicle, up to 8 people; tours $3
  • Open: Daily 9-5; tours Thurs.-Sun. at 10, 11, and hrly 1-4 Oct.-July.
