Wakulla Springs Lodge
In 1937, financier Edward Ball took his idea of quiet elegance and placed it gently in the most serene place he’d found on his international travels… Wakulla Springs. He imported marble and tile, hired artisans in iron and stone, and introduced to the world a most unique retreat. Standing today as it did then, changed only for improvements in comfort and safety… Wakulla Springs Lodge offers visitors a timeless glimpse into Florida’s pristine and elegant past.
