Micanopy

We’ve spoken about taking tours, visiting museums and taking part in historic festivals, but what about visiting a town where time seems to have literally stopped?

In Micanopy, everything seems untouched. Here you’ll find people riding horses down dirt roads, clothes drying on the line, friends gathering on front porches in rocking chairs and so much more! Trust us, a couple of days here will make you wish you were actually part of the community!

The town was founded by Edward M. Wanton in 1821. It’s seen Native American wars, settlers of a new frontier and army posts. Here you’ll find an overabundance of antique shops and goods on Cholokka Boulevard and, if you time your visit just right, you can be a part of the Micanopy Fall Harvest Festival.

We guarantee you’ll want to buy an extra luggage with all the arts and crafts you’ll buy from various local and visiting vendors, so make sure your pockets are ready to spill over.
