Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park sits on the banks of the Suwannee River in White Springs, Florida, honoring the legacy of American composer Stephen Foster, who wrote "Old Folks at Home." The grounds feature azalea-lined lawns shaded by ancient oaks, a 97-bell carillon tower that plays throughout the day, a museum with exhibits on Foster's most celebrated songs, and a craft square where artisans demonstrate quilting, weaving, blacksmithing, and jewelry making. The park offers several rentable facilities for private gatherings, including an auditorium, Nelly Bly's Kitchen, a 10-table picnic pavilion with pine ceilings conveniently sited near the river gazebo and vacation cabins, and the riverside gazebo itself — all well suited to weddings, receptions, reunions, and celebrations. Two-bedroom riverside cabins with screened porches and a full-service catering kitchen round out the on-site amenities. Year-round programming — from the Florida Folk Festival each Memorial Day weekend to an annual quilt show, old-time music weekends, and a holiday light display — reflects the park's deep roots in Florida folk culture and the performing arts.
