Crystal River Archaeological State ParkFor 1,600 years, beginning around 200 B.C., these 14 acres were an imposing prehistoric ceremonial center for Florida's Native Americans. These people traveled great distances to the complex to bury their dead with ceremony and to participate in trade activities. It is estimated that 7,500 Indians might have visited the complex annually. This six-mound complex, built by the cultural group called pre-Columbian mound builders, is considered one of the longest continually occupied sites in Florida. Visitors can tour the visitor center/museum and see an 8-minute interpretive video that is well worth watching for a better understanding of the site's past.

Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park
Crystal River, FL 34428; (352) 795-3817The Yulee Sugar Mills Ruins Historic State Park in Homosassa, Florida provides visitors a glimpse into the area's history. Standing by the side of West Yulee Drive the forty-foot limestone masonry chimney, the iron gears, and cane press draws attention. They are the remnants of the once thriving 5,100 acre plantation, “Marquerita” owned by David Levy Yulee. The steam driven sugar mill began operation in 1851 and worked until 1864 when union blockades destroyed the plantation house. Visitors can learn about the making of sugar from several interpretive panels stationed around the mill structure or relax and picnic beneath the dense canopy of live oaks.
