Historical Railroad
 In
1992, the Society acquired a railroad collection that had been
assembled by the late Bud Hess of Switzerand, Florida and brought to Green Cove Springs. This extensive collection includes the highly visible red caboose, an authentic station building, a crossing gate and signals, many laterns and hundreds of other items. |
Photographs
and Documents In addition to the physical displays, there are many photos and documents relating to the Resort Era, when Green Cove Springs was a busting reort destination with its "medicinal" springs and grand hotels catering to the riverboat traffic. |
