2 KINGS 17:13

YET THE LORD TESTIFIED AGAINST ISRAEL, AND AGAINST            
JUDAH, BY ALL THE PROPHETS, AND BY ALL THE SEERS,             
SAYING, "TURN YE FROM YOUR EVIL WAYS, AND KEEP MY            
COMMANDMENTS AND MY STATUES, ACCORDING TO ALL             
THE LAW WHICH I COMMANDED YOUR FATHERS, AND                    
WHICH I SENT TO YOU BY MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.
CASSADAGA, FLORIDA
HOME OF THE
Southern Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp Meeting Association.

.Founded in 1875 by George Colby, who was told in a vision that
he would found a Spiritualist Camp. George  Colby traveled
by train to Jacksonville, Florida and then by riverboat down
the St. Johns river to a landing  called " Blue Springs" where
his Spirit Guide told him to leave the boat. Florida was very wild.     
   The hike through the dense forests was hot and difficult.  They
walked until they reached a spot where the wilderness opened
and a small, beautiful lake lay in front of them. In this moment, the
Spirit Guide appeared again and told him that this was the place.
George P. Colby was born January 6, 1848 in Pike, Allegheny
County, New York. He was well known as a trance medium  and
traveled widely giving private Readings and holding Seances. He
acquired the name of "The Seer of Spiritualism". During these
years Spiritualism was a source of much interest and controversy.
 Much has been written about his Spirit Guide, named Seneca,
who was an American Indian. Seneca was a strong influence in
George Colby's life; and, the one who guided his journey to
Florida for the founding of the camp known as the Southern
Cassadaga Camp  Meeting Association.  In the beginning, those
who came camped and stayed only from January thru the spring.
As time passed, the Spiritualist newcomers built cabins and then
houses, apartments, the church etc. However, Cassadaga still has
retained that Victoria look and the energy of  a very special place.   
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                 Blue
Springs Landing is visited by many persons every year.  Visitors
swim in the springs and gather on the banks of the stream from
the spring where it flows down to the St. Johns River.  Wonderful
Manatees come to river each winter. Because the water is so
clear, it is possible to see and photograph them easily and in
detail.  Now known as Blue Springs Park, you may look the park up
on line for further information.                                                                 
                                                    
About Us

        Luke 1:70
AS HE SPAKE BY THE MOUTH OF       
HIS HOLY PROPHETS, WHICH HAVE    
BEEN SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN
                          Blue Springs
The constant temperature of the spring waters made temperatures near the
spring cool in the summer and pleasantly warm in the winter; so, the area
was a place that residents as well as visitors came to relax and enjoy the
natural beauty of Florida. For these early settlers and visitors, it was all
new and so different to anything they had ever known.

Manatees fascinated newcomers to Florida, residents and visitors alike. In
fact, they still do. These completely gentle creatures serve a great need for
Florida-- they keep the waterways free of excess vegetation. Unfortunately,
the river traffic on the St. Johns River has killed many of them and they are
endanger of extinction. In the winter, they crowd the stream that runs from
Blue Springs to the river. People gather to see and photograph them under
the crystal clear water. Most people find them much larger than they expect.
