The Marshall House on
Little St. George Island has been nominated to be placed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
The Marshall House was built in the early 1940’s by Herbert Marshall – it’s
one of the earliest cracker style homesteads in Franklin County.
It was privately owned and used by the Marshall family until 1976 and was
purchased by the state of Florida in 1977.
It’s now used to house researchers and school groups visiting Little St.
George Island.
The National Register of Historic Places is a
list maintained by the National Park Service which includes historical or
archaeological properties that are considered worthy of preservation because of
their local, statewide and/or national significance.
Florida has over 1,600 listings on the
National Register, including 275 historical districts and 170 archaeological
sites.
Earlier this year the Cape San Blas lighthouse in Port St. Joe was added to the National
register. .
