The Interpretive Center has original artifacts and exhibits on Bulow Plantation. In 1821, Major Charles Wilhelm Bulow acquired 4,675 acres of wilderness bordering a tidal creek that would later bear his name. Using slave labor, he cleared 2,200 acres and planted sugar cane, cotton, rice and indigo. Major Bulow died in 1823, leaving the newly established plantation to his seventeen year old son, John Joachim Bulow. After completing his education in Paris, John Bulow returned to the Territory of Florida to manage the plantation.
