Between Dade City and Brooksville, there is a small community that was once called Spring Lake (also previously known as part of Fort Dade, which also included present-day Dade City). There are two cemeteries on Spring Lake Highway- this one is located deep in orange groves off of the main road. It is fairly eerie and quiet, but it contains the remains of many Civil War veterans,and the land was once an Indian settlement, and then the Townsend family home, a school, and a church.
