ABOUT THIS PLACE

Jason Gregory, a planter in what was then Calhoun County, built it at Ocheesee Landing on the far bank of the Apalachicola, raised on brick pillars five feet high so the seasonal floods passed underneath. Confederate officers called on the family during the Civil War, and the house was used for a time to hold casualties from the explosion aboard the CSS Chattahoochee. After the war the plantation failed and the building was left to decay. The Neal Lumber Company gave it to the new state park, and in 1935 the Civilian Conservation Corps took the whole house apart, carried it across the river and put it back together on the high ground where it stands now, looking out over one of the longest river views in Florida. It has been restored and furnished to the period. Guided tours run Monday to Friday at ten in the morning, and at ten and two on weekends and on state holidays, with a maximum of eight people on each
