McKay Gardens Lakeside Preserve

School on Saturday?

If an educational experience falls on a Saturday, the answer is YES!!! 

This Saturaday, we took a field trip to McKay Gardens Lakeside Preserve, located in Lake Alfred, Florida. 

In 1917, the MacKay Family of Scotland came to Lake Alfred and built a great estate on the north shore of Lake Rochelle. The home and gardens were designed by Robert Morely, a botanist from England. The MacKay Family hosted many events and cutural activities at the estate, often bringing in harpists, concert pianists and other well known musicians.

Here is a link to beautiful historical pictures.





Here is our pictures, and what it looks like today.
