Historic MICANOPY FL - The Little Town That Time Forgot 4 11 06
Micanopy is Florida oldest inland city.
While camping at Silver Springs State Park with good friends, they mentioned this little town just north of us that's kind of stuck back in time. As we heard more about this town we decided to visit.
It has a beautiful blend of oak trees standing like waving fans of Spanish moss and a commercial district proudly maintaining its historic heritage. The town was founded in 1821 and is believed to be the oldest inland town in Florida. It was named for Chief Micanopy of the Seminole Nation and it was on the pages of Southern Living and wooed filmmakers for years. (some of the films; Doc Hollywood and Cross Creek).
Sometimes called “the little town that time forgot,” Micanopy is located in just twenty minutes south of Gainesville near Tuscawilla Lake and the National Natural Landmark Paynes Prairie Preserve. The Seminole people were remnants of the Southern Creek Nation whose name is derived from a Creek word meaning “runaway.” The Seminoles
Micanopy” which come from the Creek word for “Head Chief.” or High Chief
A stroll down Main Street in Micanopy is a mixture of commerce including a beautiful Greek revival mansion with massive columns Herlong Mansion Website: HERLONG.COM and the museum housing the Micanopy Historical Society.
When his store building uptown burned in 1911, J.E. Thrasher, Sr. moved his groceries, furniture, and dry goods into the warehouse and operated his business from it until he completed the two-story brick building in the next block.
Today, the property is owned by the town of Micanopy, Florida and is the home of the Micanopy Historical Society Museum. The warehouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
On an empty lot next to an old warehouse there's an abandoned 1955 Plymouth Station wagon, that makes you feel you are back in that era, like time travel.
A variety of shops selling everything from antique collectibles, books, and ice cream to organic food and household products.
