Koreshan State Historical Site is a historic site located in Estero, Florida, USA. It is a 200-acre park that was once the home of the Koreshan Unity, a religious community founded in the late 19th century. The site is now maintained by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and is open to the public.

The Koreshan Unity was established in 1894 by Dr. Cyrus Reed Teed, who believed he had discovered the "divine plan" of the universe. The community grew to over 200 members and was involved in a variety of activities, including agriculture, industry, and scientific research. They also built a number of distinctive buildings, including a bakery, a print shop, and a general store.

Today, visitors can explore the site and learn about the Koreshan Unity through a variety of exhibits and interpretive programs. The park features several historic buildings, including the Planetary Court, the Art Hall, and the Koreshan Unity Settlement. Visitors can also hike on the trails that wind through the park, which offer scenic views of the Estero River and the surrounding wetlands.

Overall, the Koreshan State Historical Site is a fascinating glimpse into the history of a unique religious community and a beautiful natural area in southwest Florida.
