John W. Martin house

John W. Martin, the former governor of Florida lived here. It is now the Bureau of Archaeological Research. The site is where many artifacts have been found that confirm that de Sota and his men made winter camp here in 1539-1540.

This is the only place we know precisely where de Soto stayed during his long trek across Florida and the southern United States.

Hernando de Soto

Hernando de Soto (c.1496/1497–1542) was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who led the first European expedition deep into the territory of the modern-day United States, and the first documented to have crossed the Mississippi River.
