Our state seems to be changing faster every year. We remember the way it was and wish it were still the same.  Since that can never be, we created this website to help you find off the beaten path places that still have that “Old Florida” feeling. 

We feature articles from this website on a daily basis in our free Florida Heritage Travel Ezine.
