Near Horseshoe Beach in Dixie County located in a wilderness area is this lone Condederate Soldier gravesite. Henry M. Smith is buried here and he lived from 1840-1892. So far this is the history I have been able to find "Henry was a private in Company I of the 3rd Florida Infantry regiment. He enlisted in August 1861 and was discharged in April 1865. He was wounded during the battle at Perryville, Kentucky on October 11, 1862". #floridatrailblazer #hikeflorida #oldflorida #floridahistory #cemetery #gravesite #floridaexplored #exploreflorida #roamflorida #confederate #civilwar #southernhistory
Remains from Etna ghost town in Citrus County. Etna was turpentine camp with a small community of about 200 people or so in the early 1900's. Farmers, workers and their families populated the area. There were many buildings, a commissary, turpentine still, post office, a sink for water, a sawmill, miles of tram roads and a steam engine locomotive was eventually used for transporting logs. The town was eventually abandoned around 1915 or so, the commissary may have stayed in business up until the early 1920's. #floridatrailblazer #floridahistory #hikeflorida #oldflorida #roamflorida #pureflorida
