The Wandering Disciple

Nestled away on Fort George Island is a Colonial palace that has hosted its fair share of prominent guests for almost a century. Built in 1928m the Ribault Club was to be a winter playground for the rich and famous, rivaling the neighboring Millionaire's Club on Jekyll Island. While it may no longer serve as a winter destination, it still serves as a venue for private events. It is also home to the Fort George Islands Visitors Center, joining neighboring properties to form the Fort George Island Cultural State Park. (Photo: December 30, 2020)

Some of your best discovery can be found once you leave the asphalt and take a journey down an old dirt road.  Take this one here on Fort George Island for example.  Just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Jacksonville, this dirt road leads you to some hidden historic gems from yesteryear.  From tabby ruins to the wealthy plantation of Zephaniah Kingsley, there are snapshots of history around every corner.  (Photo: December 30, 2020)
