Sumter History Hour

Join Dr. Michael J. Fields as he explores the history of old Central Florida from the perspective of a rancher who grew up raising cattle in Bushnell, Florida with old friends and acquaintances by having conversations at the Jumper Creek Ranch.

Jumper Creek Ranch in Bushnell, Florida was settled in 1952 by Ann R Fields and has served as an ongoing conservation cattle operation that has expanded from the original ten-acre parcel to 225 acres. The ranch is bisected by Jumper Creek and the historic Tobacco Road, US Highway 301.
