Oliver's Camp This house was the "main camp" of the Oliver family who migrated from Missouri in the early 1870's. The family homesteaded an area of Turnbull Hammock and they owned large tracts of timberland and citrus groves.

William's Point - Windmill and Water Tower Charlie Williams opened the Point (Williams Point) on Christmas Day in 1927. It is believed that the water tower and windmill are much older than 1927.
