Relive History

Following the Civil War, however, famed author Harriet Beecher Stowe lived near Jacksonville and traveled up the St. Johns, writing about it with affection: "The entrance of the St. Johns from the ocean is one of the most singular and impressive passages of scenery that we ever passed through: in fine weather the sight is magnificent." Her memoir Palmetto Leaves, published in 1873 as a series of her letters home, was very influential in luring northern residents to the state."

The 1876 Heritage Inn is available for you and your family to relive history in!

Come see living history!

"Let the reins of government then be braced and held with a steady hand, and every violation of the constitution be reprehended. If defective, let it be amended, but not suffered to be trampled upon whilst it has an existence."
GEORGE WASHINGTON, letter to Henry Lee, 1786

Living History with George and Martha Washington

Welcome to the website of George and Martha Washington depicted by Bill and Cara Elder. We are Historians - 1st person interpreters of George and Martha Washington. Providing a lesson in living history, we would love to be a part of your event or make a presentation to your group or school.

I am sure that never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States; and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our Revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them.”
George Washington.
