Artifact Overview
The artesian springs located on Florida's Silver River have attracted tourists since the mid-19th century. Private owners added to the site's natural splendor with amusement parks, concert venues, special exhibits, and glass-bottom boat tours. The State of Florida took over control of the area in 2013 and established Silver Springs State Park.
