Stephen Foster Folk Culture State Park

There is no real connection between this park and Stephen Foster except the park runs along the Suwannee River while Stephen Foster wrote a song about the Swanee River (he never visited it and needed it to be only two syllables). However, they collected memorabilia, have these bizarre old-fashioned dioramas, and play Stephen Foster songs when the carillon isn’t broke (it is broke now).

We happened to be here during a festival. John enjoyed the car show while I enjoyed the lemonade!

I hiked along the Suwannee River one morning. Every afternoon it rains so mornings are the only time to hike. The morning mist and the cypress trees are always neat. 

I see a lot of deer, but not a lot of bucks. It is a good park!
