Micanopy Historic District

Micanopy Historic District comprises roughly 35 historic buildings from the 1800s arranged along tree-lined streets, featuring residential homes, churches, and former trading posts. The structures stand among old oak trees and form what was the oldest continuously inhabited inland settlement in the region.

The area was among the oldest continuously inhabited inland settlements and was closely tied to trade during the early colonial period. It later played a role in military conflicts and became a location of archaeological discoveries.

The churches scattered through the district tell the story of how faith shaped the community and how buildings find new purposes over time. Walking through, you notice these sacred spaces remain central to how people connect with their past.

Visitors can stroll through the streets and explore a mix of antique shops, restaurants, and historic buildings, some of which serve as accommodations. Walking is the best way to see the area, as all key locations are relatively close to one another.

The area served as a filming location in the 1990s for a well-known movie and became popular with those interested in film history. The buildings stand today as they appeared on screen.
