Home of Harriet Beecher-Stowe. Yes, that is correct. One would not expect her to come to the South so soon after the Civil War, but she chose Mandarin as her winter home in 1867. She first assisted her son Frederick as he began a cotton farm operation at “Laurel Grove” (now Orange Park) in Clay County. They had to row across the St. Johns to pick up the mail in Mandarin, and it is said that she fell in love with the area and wanted it for her winter refuge. Though she was not welcomed by all in the area, in 1873 she wrote, “I came to Florida the year after the war and held property in Duval County ever since. In all this time I have not received even an incivility from any native Floridian.” Her “cottage” was on the river just east of the location of today’s Mandarin Community Club. It became a meeting place for Bible studies taught by her husband Calvin, often meeting on the large front porch facing the river. Oranges from her grove were shipped to the North on the local steamships. She was very active in community life. Her family helped organize the Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, and she was instrumental in convincing the Freedman’s Bureau to build a school for African-American children in Mandarin.

Mandarin is a neighborhood in Jacksonville with a lot of historical significance. For example, the famous abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe spent time in Mandarin, and it was also home to Florida’s early population of Native Americans. The Mandarin Museum seeks to preserve some of this history. From the outside, it looks like a traditional, turn-of-the-century home; on the inside, it displays all kinds of artifacts and exhibits from previous centuries. Another cool thing about the Mandarin Museum is that it hosts various events within the community. “Music Under the Oaks” is a monthly jam session with acoustic instruments like the banjo and guitar; “Third Thursday Lecture” is for guest speakers to give informative lectures about history, art, fashion, dance and culture. The Mandarin Art Festival welcomes hundreds of artists each year. The Annual Winter Celebration has s’mores and sleigh rides. If you’ll be traveling to Jacksonville any time soon, check out the Mandarin Museum while you’re in town. It’s proof that history doesn’t have to be boring!

Just a few minutes down the road and worth the visit. Learn about Mandarin, one of Jacksonville’s most historic neighborhoods. Romantic, quiet and great photo ops as well. One of my favorite tranquil hideaways.
