This morning we drove back to Fernadina Beach and took some picture of some of the old houses in the area. Some of them have haunted tales about them.
Waas House, built in 1856
Fairbanks House, built in 1885 for the local newspaper editor.
Bailey house, built in 1895 for a steamship agent.
Tabby House, built in 1885. The structure of the house is made from crushed shells and concrete.
This is the Florida House, built in 1857. It is the oldest operating hotel in Florida. General Ulysses S. Grant stayed here when he was campaigning for President in 1866. Several ghost stories from people that have stayed here.
Hoyt House, built in 1905.
This is just a few of the beautiful homes in the area. Most were hard to take pictures of because of the huge trees. We also went to Fort Clinch State Park. Pictures and blog to follow later. Now it is time to hit the beach. That is if I can stand the heat. The temperature is only 88, but heat index is 102.
