Outdoors & Nature Insider

Kevin Mims

I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.


The #moon tonight is incredible! Go outside and have a look, or I've got a video here: http://t.co/s7aigLVb

A Video Tour of Bok Tower

August 28, 2009

Related Tags: Historical Sites, Lake Wales

Earlier this week I got a special tour of Bok Tower in Lake Wales! 

Look, if you haven't visited Bok Tower Gardens, you really need to. Built in 1929, Bok Tower is a 205-foot structure that houses one of the world's most impressive carillons. And guess what? I got to ring one of the 16-ton bells!

Here's a video of my trip inside Bok Tower. For more information, please visit www.boktowergardens.org.
