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.

Historic Micanopy, Florida
A very small town just south of Gainesville, Florida. Not only is it home to the Pet Cemetary that I visit often, but it is also home to several other old and historic cemetaries and homes. This is also where the movie Doc Hollywood with Michael J. Fox was filmed. A neat little town and a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! Apologies for some of the clips being shakey, I was touring from a golf cart most of the day! Not one of my best, but still a neat little vid. Thanx so much for checking it out!

Micanopy Festival 2015
This year, my family and I went out to the first day of the Micanopy Festival in Micanopy, Florida. There were quite a bit more people than I can remember ever being there, which is great for the vendors. This is a two-day event held every year in October. If you would like to go to this event, check out the link below:
I was happy to see much more live musicians this year. Have a look for a quick idea of what you may find. My family enjoyed it!

Doc Hollywood Invitational 2013, Micanopy, Florida
The Doc Hollywood Invitational was a 80 mile bicycle event / ride in Alachua and Marion Counties. It was held in honour of the greatest movie ever filmed in downtown Micanopy, FL!
The event was 100% unsupported and non-sanctioned. It was not an event for whingers, whiners or cry babies.
40 entrants contested the 3rd year event. Greater numbers were expected, but a cold snap with temperatures in the high 30's / low 40's fahrenheit limited attendances to hard nutters and one woman only. The humid winters in North Central Florida are rather miserable on the extremities. Great times were had by all!
