You’ll find Yukon, Jacksonville’s most accessible ghost town, just miles from downtown—a community of 200+ homes bulldozed in 1963 when the U.S. Navy declared it a flight hazard to NAS Jacksonville. Today, brick culverts, concrete pumphouses, and foundation slabs hide beneath palmetto scrub where Dewey Park once housed military families. Further afield, Ellaville’s 1861 lumber metropolis offers the rusted Hillman Bridge and building foundations, while abandoned logging camps dot North Florida’s backwoods. The infrastructure tells stories federal records tried erasing.
