After your tour of Historic Bartow, visit the Bartow Gazebo Park – Corner of Florida Avenue and Davidson Street, with parking offered on the Florida Avenue side of the park. This park is a ½-acre landscaped park with a gazebo for community events. A place to sit and reflect back into the past of this historic little town. There are many little shops, a museum, restaurants and a reflecting pool all within a few blocks.
However, if it’s the letterbox you seek to find;
Start at Gazebo Park - locate the island of ferns and standing there are two old friends of a different kind.
One is waving with many palms
and the other stands tall offering shade with his broad arms.
Look for something that is, but isn’t, resting in the middle,
after finding this just unscrew it and you’ll have solved this riddle.
Enjoy your boxing day in Bartow.
