Official Insider Advice

If you’re looking for a step back in time, visit Mission San Luis in Tallahassee, where a community of Apalachee Indians and Spaniards is reconstructed from the 17th century structure. Every first Saturday of the month, a lecture is presented to visitors covering topics such as archeology, history and the mission. For more information, go to http://www.missionsanluis.org/index.cfm.

For a more recent time frame, Downtown Gainesville is the place to go. With Victorian neighborhoods and houses, you’ll literally feel like you stepped back in time. Some of the houses still have steps on the sidewalk from where carriages would pull up and let the passengers out. Take a look at the Hippodrome where you can enjoy plays, film festivals and improv performances: http://thehipp.org/.
