African-American history in the state of Florida.
Jacksonville FL
Kingsley Plantation
Located on Fort George Island, The Kingsley Plantation includes the
plantation house, a kitchen house, a barn, and the ruins of 25 of the
original slave cabins.
The Kingsley Plantation was named for one of several plantation owners,
Zephaniah Kingsley, who operated the property from 1813-1839. He married a
woman who had been purchased as a slave and later was freed in 1811.
Florida eventually passed laws discriminating against freed blacks and
Kingsley and his family moved to Haiti (now the Dominican Republic) where
their descendants live today.
Fort Caroline National Memorial
Fort Caroline National Memorial, located in the Timucuan Preserve,
presents a two-thirds scale model of 16th-century Fort Caroline. The
original fort was a French property built in 1564 and captured by the
Spanish in 1565. |
