Our
next stop was Torreya State Park in the panhandle of Florida. Gregory House is
an old plantation house that has been reconstructed in this location.
We
took a tour of the house. Some of the interesting points included this ladies’
spittoon. For the “proper” lady?
The
windows on the front and back doors were lower than normal. The story is that
the owner was short and wanted to be able to see out. Yeah, my size!
This
rocking chair was made from a spindle. Very cool and a bit bizarre!
I
forget who this was (a daughter of the owner?) but the consensus was that she
looks like Amy from “Big Bang Theory”.
There
is a path with signs showing where a confederate battery was placed. Interesting
to see all the work needed to build this line with 6 battery placements along
with storage for the mortars. All the work and these were never used.
