    Winter Parlor Menu

    Edward Ball felt the Lodge should be part of the community, a place not only for wealthy visitors, but also for area residents. He designed a Soda Fountain/Gift Shop to be an integral part of the Lodge, given as much attention to detail as the Dining Room.

    The Soda Fountain is known for its Root Beer Floats, Cherry Phosphates, Ginger Yips and Sundaes.You will still find trained soda jerks behind the counter serving guests these ice cream treats, plus traditional lunch counter food, such as hot dogs, chili, sandwiches and chips.

    The classic counter is 70 feet six inches long, making it the longest marble soda fountain ever built. The front of the fountain was made of one piece of marble that was cut and book matched (the pieces were turned back to back) to make a symmetrical pattern at every joint. The top was cut into lengths for transport, and was put back in the order it came out of the ground so the grain of the marble matched.

Special Event Dining

The Post Office

  • Special Event Bar

    The Lodge at Wakulla Springs was home to the first post office in Wakulla County. It is at the end of our Soda Fountain and still holds a few of the original pieces of post office equipment such cancellation stamps and a postal scale.

    It is no longer a post office, but instead can transform into a nostalgic bar, serving drinks for guests. We also have a mobile bar that can be set up wherever your event is located on site.

    Edward Ball, who built the Lodge, made sure there was a supply of alcohol at the Lodge during the time Wakulla was a dry county. He had a hidden liquor store room off his private suite (room 102) and he loved Old Forester bourbon. This may have been because he was a forester himself in his work for the Saint Joe Paper Company. It is said he liked a shot of Old Forester in a Ginger Yip (a milkshake-like soda fountain treat that we still make at the Lodge).
