The Frank Saxon House is a historic residence in Brooksville, Florida. The home was built by Frank Saxon in 1864 for his bride Tallulah Hope, daughter of William Hope, one of the earliest settlers in the county. Mr. Saxon was a Civil War soldier who was a member of the Hernando Wild Cats, a unit of the 3rd Regiment of the Confederate Army. After the war, Frank Saxon served as a member of the Florida Legislature representing Hernando County. The home sits on the top of a hill at 200 South Saxon Avenue. On November 5, 1998, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The manor house on this hill was built in the early 1850s before the Civil War by Francis H. Ederington. After the Civil War, Colonel Russell Snow, Ederington's son-in-law named it Snow Hill and expanded the living space of the home. The Robins family bought the home in 1904 and renamed it Chinsegut Hill and continued its expansion as Raymond Robins worked as an advisor for seven presidents. Electricity came to the home in 1933. Following the economic crash in 1929, however, the family donated the home to the U.S. government on the basis that they could remain there and avoid paying property tax. Raymond Robins died in 1954 and the University of South Florida used the property for educational purposes. It was added the registry of historical places in 2003.
Pines and cypress trees are found in the park, which was acquired by the U.S. government in the late 1930s. It came under state control in the late 1950s and is now the location of an archaeological site, along with historic general store/post office and several ghost towns.
