Excerpts from a ledger probably kept by Thomas Richards or daughter Lucie. Scanned pages feature registrations for visitors to Eden Grove House between 1883 and 1890 and also 1940. Also pasted in is a "cure for snake bites."
Thomas E. Richards came to the area in 1879; in 1881, he built a fine house near what is now Jensen Beach and called the town Eden and the house Eden Grove. The home featured a music room, library, large dining room, a grand parlor, and seven bedrooms. The Richards rented rooms to visitors. The house burnt down 13 January 1986.
