Bannon Island’s Century of History | Orlando News

Discover Bannon Island in Polk County, Florida — a 20-acre slice of history floating in Lake Marion, now on the market for the first time in over 100 years. Once owned by Patrick Bannon, a carpenter recruited by Thomas Edison, the island boasts a century-old family legacy, including a restored original home built in 1887, a pioneering Catholic mass, and citrus farming roots. The O’Leary family, who’ve preserved it since Bannon’s death in 1942, are selling it for $12 million — a rare chance to own a “Century Pioneer Family Farm.” And if that’s not enough, nearby Bird Island in Lady Lake is also up for grabs at $2.2 million.
