I recently visited the Goodwin Mansion and Museum in Tallahassee Florida. Originally built in the 1830s, Goodwood still has 16 historic structures remaining on the grounds including the original Main House Museum. Many of these structures were remodeled in the 1910s, giving Goodwood its current turn-of-the-century appearance. The museum features one of the earliest fresco ceilings in Florida and a vast collection of original furniture, porcelains, textiles, glassware, art, and more.Â

Who remembers looking for a one of these and hoping you had change? Saw this one at a small rest stop in north Florida.
On April 23, 1860, 16 year old Charles Dummett was hunting with a friend when he tripped and fell.  His gun discharged, killing him instantly. Distraught over his son’s death, Douglas built a marble tomb and buried Charles on the exact spot where he had died.
Many years later when Douglas was asked to sell some of his land to the city of New Smyrna, he had one stipulation: his son’s grave was to never be moved or disturbed.  The city agreed to his terms, and the deal was made.
In the 1960s, as the town began to grow and developments were being planned, the grave became the center of some controversy. A developer wanted to run a road directly over the final resting place of Douglas Dummett’s son.  After having all of his requests to move the grave site denied, the developer finally gave in and split the road around the tomb.
