Remnants of a Dark Period of History
These tabby ruins are all that remain to the slave cabins of the Kingsley Plantation. These provide a reminder to a period of history with many painful memories. These 25 cabins were home to up to 80 slaves that worked on the plantation. But unlike the antebellum slaves, these slaves were from the Spanish occupation in Florida. Today the ruins of the cabins have been preserved to help tell the story of all the early settlers of the region, from the plantation owners all the way to the plantation slaves.
