I've been thinking about Dystopian/Utopian Societies ever since reading: THE GIVER, an engrossing page turner that will make every rainbow seem more magical.
Last year, I left a copy of THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA at my Costa Rican cabana, after reading the book with relish. The Hemingway tome was still there in 2022, tattered and well-read. Beside it was THE GIVER. I devoured THE GIVER like a ripe papaya - yum.
Koreshan State Park in Bonita Springs, Florida, is the location of a Utopian society called Koreshanity, founded in 1894 by Cyrus Reed Teed. The followers believed the entire universe existed inside a giant sphere.
It's a fun place to learn some unusual history and do a walk-about...
This photo reminds me of the out-buildings on my dad's old farm.
This post marks the end of my Florida posts from 2021!

I have read The Old Man and the Sea, and now I will have to read The Giver!
Florida is so lush and colorful. This is a fascinating place to visit--glad they preserved the buildings for historical purposes.
How interesting! I love to walk around places like this and learn something new. I'll search and see how far away it is from where I live. Enjoy your week! It's warming up...YAY!
Beautiful building.
So weird cults have been around forever - I didn't know. I just thought they were a newish thing (20th century)
Looks like a beautiful place. Universe inside a giant sphere sounds like The Truman Show.
une série d'images magnifiques et un récit très interrressant. Merci
Sharon - societies come and go - I can only hope that we can learn from past mistakes and avoid a bad outcome! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
That looks like an interesting place!!
I love the grounds, simply beautiful.
What an interesting state park. Lots of history, and interesting history at that!
Greetings and Salutations! I will rent THE GIVER from the library. Thanks for the suggestion. I am a reader from w-a-y back. Interesting site in Florida to visit. Enjoyed the cyber tour. Always a pleasure to visit your blog.
What a fascinating and beautiful place. I would love to visit there. Pinned, in case I ever get to Florida again.
The architecture and furnishings are exquisite. The huge Alice-in-wonderland mirror over the fireplace seems like a window to another world.
