Include Mandarin in Your Summer Reading

​Learn about Mandarin, its origins and history, as part of your summer reading with Mandarin on the St. Johns. Written by Mary B. Graff in 1953, this work includes early history of our area including Mandarin's role in the Seminole Indian and Civil Wars, details on early settlers and historic landmarks and buildings, and its progress into the 20th century. The book also contains several pages of historic photographs including the Mandarin "cottage" of Harriet Beecher Stowe.  Copies of Mandarin on the St. Johns are available for purchase through the Mandarin Community Club.  For more information, visit us online or call 268-1622.
