Early residents of Glades/Port
Mayaca had to survive many harsh elements. Their goal to create a
thriving farming community was often tested by storms, insects, and
the lack of many comforts. In 1928 the Glades area was devastated
by a powerful hurricane that threatened to destroy the entire area.
Several thousand residents were killed and hundreds of homes were
destroyed. Despite the death and damage, those residents that
survived continued to develop the area. The Glades eventually
became a major agricultural community because of their desire and
vision. This memorial honors those residents who lost their lives
in the 1928 hurricane. Cache is located outside the Cemetary.
Visiting hours are 8:00am - 4:00pm
