Jerome

Florida's ghost towns are railroad towns Flagler built, 1920s land-boom subdivisions that busted, and phosphate and turpentine camps.

Jerome Carter (born October 25, 1982) is an American former professional football player who was a safety in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL draft. He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles. Carter was also a member of the Dallas Cowboys, Florida Tuskers, and Virginia Destroyers.

The on-the-ground condition of Jerome is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Jerome is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Jerome is roughly 25.9973, -81.3467 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
