Text-to-speech Audio

The Walter Jones Historic Park was an estate purchased by a Union soldier, Major Walter Jones, after the Civil War that held an orange farm. The land was eventually acquired by an English entrepreneur who's family eventually sold to the city of Jacksonville. The city then changed the estate to a park and renovated the pre-existing structures while adding a 19th century style schoolhouse and saw mill.
