Lignumvitae has a pretty coquina house and outbuildings, cannons, and other interesting features to see and the grounds are very pretty. Read up in the island's history before your visit to make it more meaningful, though there are some sign boards here and there. There are trails that circle the shoreline and cut through the woods, but we did not... More
