There is a lot of amazing history in this building. My ancestors built one of the buildings in Micanopy. Friendly people.

The antique shops were just ok. We are used to larger shops in the Carolinas and Georgia so we're kinda spoiled. We enjoyed our visit though and recommend visiting this historic jewel at least once in your lifetime.

Really cool quick visit. A lot of old town history I never knew. Admission is in the form of donations which I believe are cash only.
