When I read about these ancient structures built between 1133-1144 that is now standing in Miami, I was quite intrigued! Columbus did not even discover the "new world" till the 16th century and how is it possible that a 12th century structures are in Miami? Perplexed as I was, I made sure that visiting this intriguing place was our utmost priority when we were in Miami last year Needless to say, the whole experience was simply amazing! The grounds were so serene and peaceful and the cloisters transported me back to my previous visits in Europe. A hidden oasis in Miami! An attraction that must be included in everyone's itinerary while in Miami.See more..

Swedish immigrant and horticulturist, Axel Hallstrom, moved from Minnesota to Florida in 1904 for a warmer climate for his sickly wife, and land to grow tropical trees and fruits. He later purchased 100 acres on the "golden ridge," the tropical sand dune that runs along the western side of the Indian River. First he grew pineapples, then citrus fruit. By 1918 his brick three-story home was completed and stands today on five acres of property, bequeathed to the Indian River County Historical Society in 1999 when Axel's only daughter, Ruth, passed away. This beautiful home is filled with the original furnishings and archives from the Hallstrom family. It is open Monday through Friday and the last Saturday of the month from 1-4 pm. Many Swedish holidays are celebrated here including St. Lucia Christmas, Fika Pause, and Axel Name Day. A donation of $5 a person is suggested to help maintain the house and gardens.See more..
