The Shop is open!
If you want to feel what Florida was like long before the theme parks and high rises, drive the shaded main street of Micanopy. 🌳 Settled in 1821, it is the oldest inland town in the state, and its single historic street still runs beneath a canopy of enormous live oaks draped in Spanish moss.
The old brick storefronts here have been given new life as antique shops, bookstores, and little cafes, but the bones of the place are wonderfully unchanged. ☕ Ferns spill from porches, an old bicycle leans against a lamppost, and the light filters down soft and green through the moss. It is the kind of town where you slow your steps without meaning to, where an afternoon can disappear browsing dusty shelves and swapping stories with shopkeepers who know every building's history.
Micanopy has served as a backdrop for films and drawn generations of travelers looking for the real Florida, the one that existed before the interstate. It wears its age gracefully, quietly proud of being first. Have you ever wandered into a small Florida town and wished you could stay longer?
