Visitors to this Florida homestead can walk back in time to 1930s farm life. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings lived and worked in the tiny community of Cross Creek. Her cracker-style home and farm, where she lived for two years and wrote her Pulitzer prize-winning novel, The Yearling, have been restored and are preserved as they were when she lived here. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006. Rawlings’ farmyard, grove and nature trails are open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily throughout the year. Visitors may tour the house with a ranger in period costume from October through July, Thursday through Sunday five times daily, except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Picnic facilities are located in the adjacent county park.
