The Park That Almost Never Was: Biscayne National Park

The Park That Almost Never Was: Biscayne National Park

The area that is now Biscayne National Park was once considered a wasteland and worthless - but the Jones family, newly freed from slavery, saw the value it had. They purchased three islands and created both a home and a lucrative business. When business tycoons finally realized the locations monetary worth, they fought hard to gain control of the land to develop high rises and oil refineries. Sir Lancelot Jones wasn’t willing to give up his land, and today remains a large reason of why Biscayne National Park exists.Come see us live in Joshua Tree National Park!
