About this site

Welcome to Kingsley Plantation and Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve! This dock offers views of the Fort George River, surrounding salt marshes, and important historic resources that the National Park Service works to preserve and protect. The plantation house that sits just behind the seawall is the oldest standing plantation house in the state of Florida, and is a testament to the skill of the enslaved people who built it. The house, shoreline, and seawall are threatened by erosion caused by strong, frequent tides and wave action from boats. With your help, this time lapse will provide us with important information about how the shoreline is changing over time. There are several sandbars in the distance that are visible at low tide that may shift, and this time lapse will also serve to help monitor these changes.
