Swampy’s Sunday Services: Beulah Missionary Baptist Church, Dunnellon

Unfortunately, the church doesn’t have a website and there are no markings on the building telling when the building was built. Fortunately the Facebook page added since I took this photo in 2013 reveals the building was opened in 1912.

Here’s the address for the church if you’d like to visit: 11732 Illinois Street, Dunnellon,  34431

Swampy’s Florida says Happy Buy a Book Day!

Hopefully you have a local bookstore nearby. There are VERY few and they are scattered all over the state. Many old or used book stores now sell new books, too. If you can get out and purchase a volume or two to read. Even better to buy a book based in or about our great state of Florida.

What are some of your favorite books of Florida?

Lemon City Train Station, late 1800s. – Swampy’s Friday Train Stops.

Posted In: Swampy's Florida History

Here’s the Lemon City train station in the late 1800s. It wasn’t long before Lemon City became a part of Miami. Lemon City these days is better known as Little Haiti by Haitians who wanted to tag their island name to the area as compared to earlier agricultural pursuits.

This photo is from ‘Speedway to Sunshine’ by Seth Bramson.
