Moore's Point

At the junction of the St. Sebastian River and the Indian River, this point of land was once settled by the Ais, and pottery shards and ancient shells can still be found along the shore. In 1889, L.C. Moore built the Ercildoune Hotel on the hill, where President Grover Cleveland stayed while hunting and fishing with Frank Forster and Paul Kroegel and his guides. Across U.S. #1 is the public road, Dixie Highway, established on April 4, 1910, which led to the old wooden bridge, built in 1909 to replace an earlier ferry. The Ashley Gang was killed on the south end of this bridge in 1924.
