Abandoned Tom Gaskins’ Cypress Kneeland
Palmdale, Florida
November 13, 2021
Ah, how I love road relics like this! …Places that capture the wonderment of kitschy roadside attractions. This post shows the current state of one such attraction: Tom Gaskins Cypress Kneeland. Tom Gaskin opened his display of his beloved Cypress tree knees in 1951. It sat attracting tourists for about 50 years before the land it sat on was sold. It was then vacated, vandalized and pilfered of its knees. Abandoned Florida has much more detail on its history, if you are interested.
It’s a small and easy exploration that is definitely worth the stop if you are passing through. Just watch out for snakes and other critters.
