Hidden & Historic Driftwood Walking Tour
Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 10 AM
Driftwood, located on Big Bayou just south of 22nd Avenue South, is a unique neighborhood with an incredible sense of place that can be felt immediately.
The homes within the neighborhood include original homes designed during the 1930s to 1940s by nationally known artist, Mark Dixon Dodd and Archie Parish, an important local architect. The neighborhood plan is an early example of designing with nature. This concept visually unites all of its homes located within a coastal sub-tropical hammock, and yet still retains a dense tree canopy with an understory of lush jungle-like garden landscaping.
Driftwood was once a site used by Native Americans. There may still be prehistoric features and artifacts from the native settlement whose large shell mounds were destroyed in the early 20th century. Driftwood is also the site of archaeological features from the 1800s pioneer homesteads of Abel Miranda and John Bethell who were the first permanent European settlers in lower Pinellas County. It is also the only area in Pinellas County to see armed military conflict during the Civil War with engagement between the U.S. Navy and the settlement of alleged blockade-runners occurring in February of 1862.
The beauty of Driftwood is unmatched and its historical legacy unrivaled in the city.
