Maxwell Groves on Florida on a Tankful
Take a step back in time and visit Maxwell Groves, a historic citrus packinghouse with a country store that offers a sprawling front porch with orange rockers where customers relax, enjoy homemade orange ice cream and on some days, a cool breeze.
Maxwell Groves gives an old slice of Florida life
Travel down the back roads of Highlands County, make a turn onto East Circle Street and you'll find an open sign on a wooden porch with rocking chairs.
It's an inviting sight for anyone to stop at Maxwell Groves.

7. Cinnamon Brown: Named for Fame
If your parent had asked you to do something illegal as a teen, how would you have reacted? What it it was murder; what recourse would you have? This is the sad and sordid tale of a selfish Orange Co., CA man who, in 1985, persuaded his 14-year-old daughter to kill her stepmother. It's a tale that delves into the twisted mind of a bad dad who cherished wealth and under-aged young women more than he did his children. When his scheme was uncovered, he doubled down and ordered the killing of more people, including his deceased wife's younger sister--who, in a secret ceremony, had become his sixth wife.
