CANAVERAL NATIONAL SEASHORE
HISTORICAL SITES
SEMINOLE REST
Seminole Rest is the site of two late-1800s homes that were built on top of a group of Timucuan Indian shell middens—refuse piles made of discarded shells from seafood meals—that were created between 770-1100 AD. Over hundreds of years the middens grew into sizable hills. Most were destroyed during modern times when leveled and used as landfill, but the private owners of Seminole Rest saved these middens from a similar fate.

ELDORA STATE HOUSE
The Eldora State House is the last remaining home from a resort community that flourished on the shore of Mosquito Lagoon between 1900 and the late 1930s. The home was restored and opened to the public in 1999.
