There is a place in Port Orange, Florida that is both equal parts creepy and fascinating. What began as a sugar mill way back in the 1800s is now a beautiful garden open every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with free admission. But this vibrant garden wasn’t always this way. In fact, it has quite the sordid past, which includes becoming a 1930s amusement park named Bongoland, which was eventually abandoned. Check out the fascinating history regarding this abandoned amusement park in Florida.
