DeFuniak Springs
DeFuniak Springs, founded in 1882 as a L&N Railroad stop, is steeped in history. A walk around Lake DeFuniak is a walk back into Victorian times, when labor and materials were plentiful and elaborate architectural details were incorporated in the homes being built. Turrets, double verandas, classic fluted columns, gingerbread trim, and window dormers all resulted in interesting architecture. Cultural, educational, and religious activities came early when the town was chosen as a winter home for the New York Chautauqua.
