Sited adjacent to the archeologically and historically significant Wakulla Springs, the lodge opened in September 1937 by Edward Ball. Ball, a wealthy brother-in-law of Alfred I. duPont, used this facility as his private retreat.
During WWII, the facility provided a recreational venue for officers and men from Camp Gordon Johnston near Carrabelle. The Lodge provided housing for families of Camp Gordon Johnston's officers and the spring provided the setting for a Grantland Rice Academy Award winning film.
The property was acquired by the State of Florida in 1986 and named the Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park.
