Gamble Plantation Historic State Park
Gamble Plantation Historic State Park, Antebellum plantation house museum in Ellenton, Florida.
The mansion features thick white columns, spacious verandas, and tabby walls constructed from local oyster shells, sand, and lime materials.
Major Robert Gamble constructed this Greek Revival residence between 1845 and 1850, establishing a 3,500-acre sugar plantation worked by over 200 enslaved people.
The mansion displays period furnishings from the mid-19th century, representing the domestic lifestyle of Florida's plantation era through guided interpretive tours.
Visitors can join guided mansion tours six times daily from Thursday through Monday, with the visitor center operating between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
The property includes a covered cistern that stored 40,000 gallons of water and remains the only surviving plantation house in South Florida.
