This Florida Library Is Beautiful But Most People Miss The Secret Room Upstairs

A university library calls one of its own reading rooms one of the best kept secrets on campus. That’s a bold thing to admit. It also makes me want to find it immediately. The room sits upstairs inside a historic Florida library that first opened in 1926. You reach it through a grand reading room that already looks like a movie set.

Between Tampa And Gainesville Is An Archaeological Park With Native American History, Fishing, And Trails

Florida's Gulf Coast is a prime, year-round vacation escape, but its tourism hotspots tend to center on its prominent Gulf-side beaches. Inland from the Gulf, however, sits a worthy collection of outdoor attractions preserving Florida's natural, cultural, and historical treasures without any beaches involved. A superb Florida hidden gem for history and nature lovers alike is the small but extraordinary Crystal River Archaeological State Park. With the word "archaeological" in its name, you can probably guess that this park is a bit more history-minded than most Florida state parks. At the same time, this park is far from a stuffy history lecture, and you'll find top-tier inland water recreation along with its historic treasures.
