The old settlement of Island Grove is located near Cross Creek and in fact is the burial site of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings of "The Yearling" fame.  I recommend the guided tour of Marjorie's home as you will hear a lot of interesting facts about the author and her life in this very out of the way place.

Island Grove Methodist Church is slowly decaying in the old Florida town of Island Grove.  The town is located a few miles from Cross Creek and is the burial site of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.
