The Marjory Stoneman Douglas House is maintained for cultural preservation and is currently not open to the public.
Douglas lived here from 1925 until her death in 1998. She wrote about listening to birds and being inspired by the trees and greenery that surrounded her, and she used her cottage as inspiration.
Douglas was a remarkable speaker and writer. She championed many causes, such as women’s rights, poverty and civil rights. Her legacy lives on through the buildings and natural places that bear her name.
