Beautiful historical place, the only surviving plantation house in South Florida. The tour was great, we learned a lot and It is only $6. The house is beautiful, the yard is so green and well maintained. The museum is at the entrance, very interesting. Nice place to walk around...

The staff is absolutely wonderful, so much great information about the area and the park. A wonderful historic tour, great hands on way to help kids understand history! We loved the museum too.

A most beautiful architectural masterpiece. See the museum prior to going on the tour. It would be worthwhile if both the museum and tour guide spent a bit more time detailing the lives of the 160 unfortunate souls who did not want to be on the plantation (the slaves). The tour lasted half an hour. Although curt almost to the point of being rude, the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the building. Remember to tip your tour guide!

Beautiful informative stop. Worth the $6 tour. Beautiful building. Ranger was knowledgeable and friendly.

I guess the price is 6.00dollars car shows on the other hand is a 1.00dollar parking fee
Yes, we give all the factual information we have regarding Gamble’s enslaved people. The unfortunate part is there is very little information about them. When Gamble lost the land and moved back to the Tallahassee area, all of his belongings were stored in a barn that burned down just two days after. This why all of the home’s furnishing are just representative of the time period. We do have a list of names of the slaves from the foreclosure from the bank and it is on display in the museum. During the tour they are discussed in nearly every room of the tour and during the introduction on the porch. We also have plan to build a display that discusses what their living conditions might have looked like by showing an example of what some other plantations had.
Yes you can as long as they are on a leash and they have current tags. And please respect others and pick up after your dog's mess. They will be glad to see you at the gamble plantation.
The Patton house, son in law of the Gamble Mansion owner. Not a slave house by any means, take the tour, it's very educational. I worked there before the Patton house was moved there.
Not until March of next year
