About Gamble Plantation Historic State Park

1925 marks the site's protection, though the mansion itself dates to the plantation era it preserves. The grounds contain the Gamble Mansion, a former plantation house also called Gamble Plantation, situated on 37th Avenue East at US 301. The property carries a Confederate memorial designation honoring Judah P. Benjamin and serves as home to the Florida Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
