2. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings House
S. C.R. 325, next to M.K. Rawlings Park
Built between 1880 and 1900, the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings House was purcahsed by Marjorie and Charles Rawlings in 1928 after they arrived in Florida from New York City. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is State Historic Site open to the public for a modest admission fee.
Rawlings described Cross Creek as
"...a bend in a country road, by land, and the flowing of Lochloosa Lake into Orange Lake by water. We are four miles west of the small village of Island Grove, nine miles east of a turpentine still, and on the other sides we do not count distance at all, for the two lakes and the broad marshes create an infinite space between us and the horizon."
