Event Navigation
Two hundred and fifty years ago, in April of 1774, a young man’s travels took him to a site overlooking what we today call Paynes Prairie. Describing it as he saw it then, he wrote an entry in his journal that began: “The extensive Alachua savanna is a level green plain…” And with those simple words as his beginning and his subsequent fame in later years, he ensured our prairie a permanent place of honor in the long history of both literature and science.
Free with park entry.
