| | | | Yeah, I am, but it wasn't the ghost part of it that made me want to go to Brewster. I just want to check out an empty town. I think that has got to be one of the best UE experiences there can be. An entire town, that probably isn't gonna be very patrolled by anybody, and no one there. Just some old empty buildings to check out and take pictures of. It would amazing!
Of course, I have to live in S. Florida, which as far as I can tell is a UE hell!

you sir are mistaken....some of the top 10 sites ive ever explored are in miami and beyond. you should join flurbex and talk to robtech. hes one of my admins and lives down there in miami.
also i doubt youll find an entire town thats abandoned in florida.
NAME: Brewster
COUNTY: Polk
ROADS: 2WD
GRID: 3
CLIMATE: Hot in Summer
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Winter/Fall/Spring
COMMENTS: No Residents. The site can be found at the corner of SR 37 and CR 630 just south of the hamlet of Bradley Junction. Check out the Historical Museum in Ft. Meade along with touring old Ft. Meade. Many 1800 sites and homes can be found there.
REMAINS: Remains of the old power plant and smoke stack, some tracks remain, old bar and gas station on SR 37, phosphate pits.
Brewster was one of the phosphate towns built around the Brewster Phosphate industry at the turn of the century. The, very visible, smokestack was the first thing built. Getting into Ft. Meade was a problem because of the distance, so all the residents needs were met by the company village. There was a doctor's office, drug store, commissary, filling station, swimming pool, school, post office, and later a recreation center. The company expected all the workers to live at Brewster. There was the white section to the south of the mine and a black section to the east. Around the 1960's the townspeople learned of the closing of the village and they were either to buy their home and move or it would be demolished. Many bought their houses for bargain prices and moved to Ft. Meade, Bradley Junction, Bartow, or Mulberry. An air view of the town still barely reveals the streets and the home plots. The drying plant, shops, main office, and chemical plant remained for awhile but the plant was permanently shut down in the 70's. In 1976 the Fort Lonesome mine was built and all of the facilities at Brewster were moved their. Submitted by: Mike Woodfin
