Guptill Cottage is a really lovely historic home on the property with gorgeous old trees and a stones throw away from a boat building shed right along the water. It is impressive that this home has been able to withstand the storms coming off the Gulf for so many years. It was an extremely roomy home for the times, and had some lovely second story porch views! There was also a really lovely butterfly garden and an interesting aqueduct system. Definitely a neat visit tucked away off the main highway!

The White Cottage is a gorgeous home right along one of the inner waterways. It gets a wonderful breeze and has a lovely sunken garden with pretty forsythia bushes. One of the most influential area families lived here. A true business woman, widow Bertha Potter moved down from Chicago, doubled her wealth, and contributed significantly to the growth of the area in the early 20th century,

The Chapel at Historic Spanish Point is just a wee little thing in the woods, next to the cemetery. Due to disuse and lack of upkeep, the original structure was definitely not in good shape before it was renovated and rehabilitated. It even has a working bell! The cemetery had several generations of family members buried there. Definitely an interesting old chapel!

The first stop of the day was to the library attached to the Historic Spanish Point Welcome Center. I thought it was such a lovely place for a library, within a historic site, a pair of my favorite things. I really loved that the library had a nice screened in porch that patrons can sit and enjoy a nice read when the weather is just right. It was a tad north of warmer than my northern blood is able to handle, but it seemed about perfect for the Floridians to enjoy!
