Walter Jones Historical Park and the Mandarin Historical Museum
are both located at 11964 Mandarin Road, Jacksonville, FL
32223. Call 904-268-0784 or visit http://www.mandarinmuseum.net
for more info on the museum and the park. Check out the visual tour
of my visit on 9/22/07 to the park at http://www.visualtour.com/show.asp?T=1224341.
My husband, a history buff, loved the museum. So did I, but I loved
the view of the St. Johns River the most. Check out the view in the
picture below. The bridge in the background is a 3-mile bridge that
connects southeast Jacksonville to northwest Jacksonville on I-295.
I-295 is a bypass around the heart of Jacksonville. (Travelers are
sometimes better off just going straight through Jacksonville,
but during heavy construction times and rush hours, this route
is better. The best route is really a coin toss most of the
time.)
