The Remains of the Drew Mansion & The Lost Cemetery of Ellaville

Finding The Remains of the Drew Mansion and the lost cemetery of Ellaville was a challenge that brought me back to this Florida ghost town for a second time. This hard-to-find location is where one great Floridian built a life for himself, his wife Amelia and changed the course of history for the South!

Thank you for sticking with it to find the remains of the Drew Mansion! My grandmother was born in the bottom right bedroom in 1906. They lived in the home for about 10 years.

Those”pits in the ground” are sinkholes. Aren’t from Florida,, are you???

Looks like you found the old Columbus Cemetery.

Enjoyed video,as George Drew is a distant cousin, have researched him ,his story would make a great movie,I have also accumulated lots photos and information about his offspring and their stories.

A movie about his life should be made. He was incredible

I hope you did top up your blinker fluid on this trip...

[@DraysWorld]

Just had it filtered and topped off the day before.

Spiders are feasting on bodies

[@koningbolo4700]

Any feasting on said bodies was long over by the 1920's...for sure.

Congratulations! Great history detective work.

Glad you found it. The state should do more with that property.
