History

The Lichgate cottage was the home of the late Dr. Laura Jepsen, a professor of comparative literature at Florida State University from 1946 to 1978. After her death on Christmas Eve, 1995, the property was sold to the Laura Jepsen Institute, which was established by a group of former students, colleagues, and acquaintances, inspired by her life's work. The Laura Jepsen Institute currently maintains the grounds. The property is open to the public and small groups. Features include a magnificent live oak tree, a Tudor style fairy-tale cottage, and gardens. Available for weddings, showers and small parties.
