== History ==
The area now known as Chinsegut Hill was acquired from the United States government in 1842. The historic site of the Chinsegut Hill Manor House was constructed in 1849. The property was sold and bought several times in the latter half of the 19th century. In 1904, Raymond Robins bought the property and gave it its current name of Chinsegut, which is an Inuit word for "The spirit of things lost and regained." Raymond and Margaret Robins extended and dramatically improved the property in subsequent years.〔Salzman, Neil V. Reform and Revolution: The Life and Times of Raymond Robins. Kent, Ohio: Kent State University Press, 1991.〕
The Robins also increased the historical significance of the property through their involvement in politics. At Chinsegut Hill the Robins entertained countless prominent guests including Soviet ambassadors, Helen Keller, Jane Addams, William Jennings Bryan, Thomas Edison, James Cash Penney, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Senator Claude Pepper, and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes.〔Money, "Chinsegut Chronology," n.p.〕 Photographs of scenes and people at Chinsegut Hill in the 1920s and 1930s are available in the Special Collections of the University of Florida's George Smathers Library. Using his connections with the Herbert Hoover administration, Raymond eventually brokered a deal to donate the Chinsegut Hill estate to the government with the stipulation that the couple be allowed to live there until their deaths, free of property taxes.〔Salzman, ''Reform and Revolution'', p. 344-345.〕 By 1932, Robins had donated the house and land back to the federal government for research and philanthropy.〔()〕
Today the original Chinsegut Hill and its historical Manor House are within the Main Station of the Sub-tropical Agricultural Research Station (STARS). This large federal facility with programs in land and pasture management, animal resources and health, and weather observation, is jointly supported and administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service and the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS).
