So ends the book, Cross Creek, written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Cross Creek still belongs to time. Thanks to the University of Florida Foundation, the efforts of supporters and the Florida Parks Department, the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Historic Site is available to thousands of visitors each year. Advertisement: Accompanied by her husband, Charles (Chuck) Rawlings, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings first set her eyes upon Cross Creek in 1928. She was fascinated with its remoteness, wildness, simplicity of life and its Florida Crackers. She immediately felt a sense of place. It touched all her senses. This was home. After returning north to put a close to her life there, Chuck's two brothers (who lived in North Central Florida) found the perfect spot in Cross Creek, so named because it lay between the Lochloosa Lake and Orange Lake. The acquisition also included two cows, two mules, 150 chicken coops, two chicken brooders, a planter, reaper, cultivators, sweeps and an old Ford truck on its last leg. They had hoped to live off the citrus groves. That never came to fruition, but Marjorie's writing did.

BACKGROUND AUDIO: The call of the whippoorwill, Caprimulgus vociferous , then... The music that some of you will hear playing in the background is the wonderful first movement of “Florida Suite” by composer Frederick Delius, whose music graces the MGM movie production of The Yearling. Many of you will recall that Delius lived in a cabin along the St. Johns River in 1884-85 at Solano Grove across the river from and just south of Green Cove Springs. During Delius’s time at Solano Grove he received the inspiration for some of his major musical compositions. We had a great conference at Winter Park, Florida in April 2006, and now we are planning for our MKR Society 2007 Annual Conference to convene in Cedar Key, Florida!
