While access to the deer feeding station isn’t restricted to visitors, the station is rather difficult to find, so we encourage interested individuals to speak with a park ranger about it.
Next time you’re in the park think of what other stories may be hidden from view. -
After years of changes and the establishment of a national park, the deer feeding station is the only remaining structure from the original Royal Palm State Park and is a testament to the work undertaken by women to establish and preserve this special place.
-
At the lodge, there was even a white tail deer feeding station and holding pen. Many park visitors of the 1930's describe the deer and visit to Royal Palm as a memorable experience.
-
A year later in November of 1916, Paradise Key was dedicated as Royal Palm State Park.
The FFWC also developed the Royal Palm Lodge on-site to encourage visitors to come to the area and create connections with the Everglades. -
They sent foot-long strips with slots for coins to women’s clubs throughout the state with the intention of raising a “Mile of Dimes”. While this campaign was not a successful undertaking, it shows the clever dedication of the members of the FFWC.
-
That same year, the FFWC started a “Mile of Dimes” campaign to raise money to fund upkeep at Paradise Key, a condition of their agreement with the State of Florida to act as custodians of the land.
-
Mrs. Henry Flagler donated an additional 960 acres as well. The FFWC’s intention was to protect this unique environment for future generations.
-
Seeing the increasing real estate development in south Florida as a threat to the Everglades, the FFWC convinced the State of Florida to donate 960 acres located in Paradise Key in 1915.
-
Established in 1895, the FFWC worked with local and statewide social movements in several areas including education, prohibition, and conservation.
-
Hidden in the trees at Royal Palm is the last remaining structure built by the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs (FFWC).
