THE KORESHANS OF ESTERO
Ron Westcott, Koreshan State Park Docent, will discuss the history of the Koreshan Unity and their accomplishments in Florida, including the incorporation of the Town of Estero in 1904 and their decline after Teed's death in 1908. The group ultimately turned over of their community to the State of Florida to become Koreshan State Park in 1961.
Koreshan State Park offers a window into the lives of a unique and eccentric pioneer group that made its home under towering oaks on the banks of the Estero River. The park is home to 11 immaculately restored and nationally registered historic buildings erected by the Koreshans between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PARK
