Dudley Farm, Farmhouse & Outbuildings, 18730 West Newberry Road, Newberry, Alachua County, FL

Significance: The Dudley Farm is significant in the areas of agriculture and architecture. Comprised of a complex of twenty-one buildings, thirteen structures, and one cultural landscape, it is an excellent example of a 19th - 20th century Florida farm that remains virtually intact. Original field and sections of old roads remain. The resources, constructed between 1859-1946, are in good condition, and individually, and as a complex, represent one of Florida's premier historic farms. The agricultural history of the farm closely reflects the practices and agricultural changes of the region. Cotton was supplanted by cattle and tobacco as the main cash crop by the turn of the 20th century. Agricultural activity continued until the 1980s. The property is now owned by the State of Florida and managed by the Division of Recreation and Parks.
