Heritage Story


The River of Lakes Heritage Corridor makes waves about its natural assets. The area embodies the meaning of the ‘good life’, beginning with its first settlers, the hunter-gatherer, Mayacans. Centered along the mighty St. Johns River, this area in West Volusia County thrived with tourism during the late 1800s when wealthy northern landowners took notice of the region through steamboat transportation. William Bartram, Frederick deBary, and Jacob Brock to name a few. Today, the Corridor paints the picture of its heyday, the era of settlements, and the present growth of sustainable tourism through cultural heritage stories.
