    Join us at Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park for an after-hours tour of the Bulow sugar mill ruins to uncover the intriguing history of the 203-year-old site. Led by a park ranger, you will be guided through the ruins, specially illuminated for the occasions, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the fateful night in 1836 when the Seminole Tribe set fire to the mill. As you walk through the shadows of history, you will hear stories of Bulow’s fortune, the mysteries surrounding the plantation, and the fates of those who shaped its legacy – all against the backdrop of the ancient ruins.

    Time: Gates open 20 to 30 minutes early; Program begins at 5:45pm.

    Meet at: Bulow Plantation Ruins Pavilion

    What to Bring: Protective clothing (long sleeved shirt, long pains and socks suggested) and sturdy, close-toed shoes (uneven terrain expected), insect repellent, water, flashlight.

    Cost: Tickets are required for this event and space is limited; $25.00 per person. All proceeds go to the Friends of Tomoka Basin State Parks to help support future programming and events.
