Koreshan State Historic Site, Historic settlement site in Estero, United States.

The 135-acre state park contains 11 restored buildings, botanical gardens, and natural areas along the Estero River in southwest Florida.

In 1893, Dr. Cyrus Teed established the Koreshan Unity settlement, leading a religious group that believed in a hollow earth theory until 1961.

The settlement members maintained extensive gardens, operated printing presses, and constructed buildings that combined Victorian and vernacular Florida architectural styles.

The park provides 60 camping sites, boat ramps, fishing spots, hiking trails, and guided tours through historic structures daily from 8 AM until sunset.

The settlement generated its electricity through generators powered by the Estero River, establishing one of the first power plants in southwest Florida.

Location: Lee County

Inception: 1961
