Question: What abandoned Florida town was originally known as Cooks Ferry and is marked by an old, outdoor bank vault?
Answer: Osceola
Named after a famous Seminole warrior by the same name, the town was built along the St. Johns River north of Lake Harney. While the area was originally known as Cook’s Ferry, a lumber firm called the Osceola Cypress Company built both a giant sawmill and the town in 1916.
