Homestead, Florida: The Coral Castle Mystery
Transcript
94 segmentsShow Notes
Homestead, Florida. Hidden away in the sunny shores of Florida lies a structure that is both an architectural wander and a mysterious legend. And as you would expect from my episodes, the story behind it is as curious as the structure itself. In today's episode, we are exploring the mystery of the Coral Castle, a castle that was built single-handedly by a man using nothing but homemade tools.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The story of Homestead is a reminder that the events that shaped America didn't always happen in the biggest cities. What unfolded here left marks on the community that are still visible today. The full story is more complicated, and more human, than the version most people know.
