Wells CabinWalk through a piece of Florida's History.
The
Wells Cabin restoration project began in 1999. Time and weather
were
beginning
to take its tole on this little house so many families have
called home. After clearing the area around the site work began
on the structure itself. A nearby log corn crib was also disassembled
and rebuilt on the site. The corn crib had been
orininally built by Kirby Wells, grandson of Alex
Wells. In 2006 Jerry Gullo donated his grandfather's
old blacksmith shop to the project. Wood from an old
barn originally built by Alex's son Bradford Wells,
was used to build the shop...
Many hours of work have gone into this
project and many people have played a part in saving this small
piece of Florida's history. 
It
is a reminder of a simplertime when families worked hard at just
surviving, a time and way of life we should not forget. In order
to truely appreciate how far we have come, we must remember the
sacrifices that have been made in the past.
The McCulley family would
like to thank the following for their help in making
this project a reality. The Florida Division of
Forestry, Twin Rivers State Forest, Tim Trott at flahorse.com,
Mainstreet Hamilton County, Jane Harris, Bob Keeling, Jerry Gullo,
Mickey King family, the Wells family, the Waters family, all the
other friends and family and especially all the trail riders that
have traveled from near and far to share in our areas
history and natural beauty...May God bless each and
everyone of you.
