The weather
station is built on the remaining structure
of the trestle.
In the deep cypress.
Can you spot the MarshBunny? I am standing up
- some of the old cypress knees are taller than I am.
What's
left? Currently the Macedonia Baptist Church
(built in the early '70's) stands on the site of the
mill itself. (For you locals, that would be on Lipscomb
Street, north of University.) The boarding house and
a few of the original company houses still stand, and
parts of the rail grade can be found, though most have
been paved over.
The
FIT boathouse on Crane Creek may be one of the old mill
buildings, or at least made from salvaged material.
The
weather station on the edge of Little Sawgrass lake is
built on the pilings of the old trestle, and the campsite
at Mosquito Island clearly
shows that it is built upon the old railway.
A piling
can be seen
buried under water and sand.
During times
of low water you can see the ghosts of the old railway.
Mosquito
Island has it's roots firmly
wrapped around the remains of the trestle.
