Bruce Hunt has combined and updated the two volumes of his popular Visiting Small-Town Florida series to bring you this exciting, new venture into real, old-timey Florida. Take a road trip around the Sunshine State with Bruce Hunt as he visits seventy of Floridas most charming, historic, and often eclectic small towns-places with names like Sopchoppy, Ozello, and Two Egg. Tour historic districts, museums, galleries, antiques shops, and great local eateries. Marvel at the intricate architecture of past centuries. Learn about each towns history and meet some of the unusual and endearing characters who call these small towns home.
This travelogue and guide book lets you experience the flavor of Floridas backroads burgs and provides directions, addresses, phone numbers, and websites. Here at your fingertips is all the information youll need to make one (or all) of these special places a weekend or vacation destination.

Reader Reviews
Be sure to look for the newer edition (2003) as it covers seventy small towns. I started out thinking I would just dip into this, and read a few pages here and there. Then it turned out to be so interesting with Florida history, local tidbits, interesting people and architecture, that I read it straight through. Now I can't wait to visit Havana to see the antique shops or to see the 36 murals in Lake Placid. Some of the towns merely have interesting names (Yeehaw Junction) or a single sight, but many sound worthwhile for a day trip or longer visit. Probably should keep this book in the car while in Florida and check it occasionally to see if you are near any of these interesting places. It is arranged by regions (north, central and south),
