ORGANIZATION: Koreshan State Park/Florida Park Service

Image_202406060915

Koreshan State Park has a rich history and memorializes the original settlers of this area. Our "Friends" group The Friends of Koreshan is a group of local and seasonal volunteers that work together to fundraise. One of their fundraising avenues is the Ranger Station gift shop. They are looking for someone to manage, order, receive orders, and plan on items to sell in the gift shop. This opportunity has flexible hours and could be broken up and shared by multiple individuals. If you would like to hear more please apply and we will welcome you for an in person tour of the park to discuss our needs and see if we might be a good fit.

About Koreshan State Park/Florida Park Service

Location:

3800 Corkscrew Rd, Estero, FL 33928, US

Mission Statement

to provide resource-based recreation while preserving, interpreting and restoring natural and cultural resources. The objective in park planning is to achieve an equitable balance between preserving natural resources and providing public access for outdoor recreation.

Description

Koreshan State Park offers a window into the lives of a unique and eccentric pioneer group that made its home under towering oaks on the banks of the Estero River.

In 1893, the Koreshans, a religious sect founded by Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, moved here and built a settlement based on a commitment to communal living and a belief that the universe existed on the inside of the Earth. Living celibate lives, the enterprising Koreshans established a farm, nursery and botanical gardens.

The park is home to 11 immaculately restored and nationally registered historic buildings erected by the Koreshans between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

A quiet and peaceful refuge amid busy Fort Myers, the park's interpretative and natural resources provide great opportunities to learn and to enjoy nature.

At our park we utilize volunteers to assist with maintenance, events, visitor services, and interpreting the park and its history. There is likely something for each person that can fit into a variety of schedules.
