I loved this Museum! We went as a family and could have stayed all day if we read everything there. Loved the exhibits! Very well put together. If you are in Gainesville I would highly recommend stopping by!

Micanopy is a small town with a lot of history. The buldings are really neat to see as there is the jail, an old garage all of which hold antique stores. Its a laid back place with a few places to eat that are good as well. People are friendly too. Its a relaxing way to spend time.

Very interesting inside and out. Very nice volunteer staff. Neat stuff! I especially like the general store section and items that were traded/sold at this location.

You will find displays of Native American artifacts and items from an old general store among other things. The people who work there are very friendly and informative. You do not have to pay admission, but of course you are going... More

It is unlikely that you will be in Micanopy if you haven't planned to be there. If you are there to relax for the weekend then this museum is the perfect place to spend the lazy morning. Here you can browse through a wide spectrum of history. There are sections on the Seminoles & the Timucua as there is one... More
