Old Car in The Woods

I found this old car in the woods while hiking at Charles H. Bronson State Forest. This is a vast area to explore and finding this car was a great adventure! I walked a good ways through pasture lands until I eventually reached a small wooded area where I saw this old car. It appears to have been rusting away here for quite sometime.

Abandoned Osceola Bank Vault

Osceola Bank Vault

I found this old bank vault from the ghost town of Osceola in Seminole County that once was existed here. In 1916 the Osceola Cypress Company built a large sawmill and a complete town here. The company and the town were named after the famous Seminole Indian Chief. Osceola covered 350 acres and had nice houses, a general store, bank, gas station, post office, school, and office buildings. The town was based around the sawmill which employed over 200 people and generated the town's electricity. In 1939 the Osceola Cypress Co. began moving its operations to Port Everglades. In 1940 the last residents moved out and this is all that remains.

I am still trying to find an original photo of the vault that would be really fascinating to see. I posted my video and other useful links below. If you do visit this site please take care to leave it as you found it so that others may also experience this remaining piece of history for a long time to come.
