The trails to the water were great as it wasn't a far walk to get see tons of itry bitty crabs scurrying around. So cute! No one was in the building when we visited but a ranger was sitting on the porch of the building across from it.

Nothing on their website about it when I booked but good on them; I just Love seeing the city healthy and vibrant and happy, happy, happy again.

Our request to reschedule was warmly yes, we could ...but then was coldly nooo, because we were too late after whatever return window we booked in. So better be sure, if you're booking and coming up on the same day. It's not like we were a no-show, or cancelled on short notice, or even changed our mind; we actually made the two hour round trip and drove around for about half an hour looking for parking. Whatever, that's how they do business here and they can Cedar keep it. We will never know the joys of their tour even though we paid for it. Buyer beware, my friends.

I didn't know how they were made (each is made from two pieces of wood) and how the wood from Florida was combined with graphite from Siberia by craftsmen in Germany. All fascinating stuff and more than anyone has any right to expect from a small town vacation-community museum. Also oysters, clams, and Donax bristle brushes. The Museum itself is well-kept and well organized.

All cases and exhibits and wall hanging are clearly marked, it's organized and clean. You do have to do a bit of reading to see everything as it's self guided. There are maps and artifacts from the early Native American inhabitants through the civil war years. Everything from the cross state railroad to the factories and medical/doctors services and tools are highlighted. You can see how the wood slats for cedar pencils was made; donax brushes were constructed from the palm fiber to finished product. A timeline is provided from 1700 to the current day. You can purchase many books and a few souvenirs as well. This is an easy walk in downtown -- perfect for an after lunch activity or between lunch and ice cream. Plan on about an hour depending on how much you like to read every name plate/tag.

The day tour is a walkthrough the architecture and history behind the building as well as the memorabilia that is part of the museum, and is conducted daily between 12pm-3pm costing $5 per adult. The night tour is a haunted house tour where a few volunteers walk you through the haunted history of the house, only conducted on Fridays and Saturdays costing $20. We went for the haunted house tour on a rainy night. Although the tour finished in about 40 minutes even if it was a 2 hour session, we were allowed to roam around the house for the left over time. The experience was certainly enjoyable and thrilling. As I am writing this review, I kind of feel sick in my stomach after experiencing this place. This was my first ghost tour. Many more to go.

In the daytime it is a wonderful look into the story of Brooksville with rooms dedicated to military, education, and communications. The attic used once for patients is a little creepy. This is a popular ghost house and has been on several television shows as well as a spot for the annual haunted house. As a historian, I don't spend much time with flying saucer stories and demons and ghosts, but this house has a track record that will make you wonder. The last time my wife, a friend, and I toured the House, our guide was a high school student volunteer on her three tour. When we got to the bedroom which was Jessie May's room where one may wonder if she died there, I noticed some activities that escaped explanation. There is a small closet behind the creepy crib with the Victorian doll said to be owned by the three year old. The closet door opened two inches as if someone was hiding there. As I approached the crib, the closet door closed to within one-half inch. I thought there might be loose, old floor boards, but the wood went in a different direction. As the group went to the far side of the bedroom to look at items on a tall bureau, the door returned to the two inch position. When we piled into the lobby to go to the next room, the closet closed. Of course, I stayed behind and watched the closet door open again ever so slightly. I opened the closet door and the room was completely empty. There were no wires attached to the door or any visible electronic devices. When I mentioned this to an elderly volunteer, she said at least twice a week, visitors comment on that. She also said the Historical Association doesn't have the funds to paint the bedroom walls and fix the peeling ceiling. My wife wrote a check so Jessie Mae's bedroom can be repainted - I hope she doesn't want to visit me in Tampa.

And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.
