This Florida Town Is Known as the Horse Capital of the World, and It’s Worth the Trip

There’s a town in Florida where million-dollar horses graze behind miles of white fences, the countryside looks more like Kentucky than the Sunshine State, and some of the clearest water in America is hiding just down the road. Welcome to Ocala, a place that proudly wears the title of Horse Capital of the World, and for good reason. But horses are only half the story.

Florida’s Oldest Diner Serves Its Famous Milkshake Out Of A 1932 Rail Car

A sandwich here stacks scrambled eggs, bacon, and ground beef on one bun. Yes, all three, together, on purpose. That wild creation comes from a Florida diner that has been flipping burgers inside an old railroad dining car since 1932. The milkshakes are hand-spun, and the onion rings get battered by hand.

Step Inside This Hidden Florida Museum and Discover an Entire World of Tiny Trains

A tiny Cleveland, Ohio, rumbles to life with model trains in a small Florida town. That alone made me stop and stare at my screen. The scenes get even sillier and sweeter. One layout features muskrats. Red buttons let kids, and grown-ups who refuse to admit it, set little things in motion.

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.

Veterans event renamed in honor of local hero

When the phrase “freedom isn’t free” is heard, the relatives of Interlachen’s Robert H. Jenkins Jr. resonate with it to a different degree than many other families. Jenkins, who has been celebrated as a Putnam County hero, died March 5, 1969, when he threw himself on a live grenade while serving as a Marine in the Vietnam War.

Veterans Day in St. Augustine: Military Memorials & Monuments

In 1918, St. Augustine was preparing for the possibility that its young men would not all come home. The First World War had pulled thousands of Americans into military service, and the city was no exception. A few decades later, another generation would leave for a war on a scale that made the first seem almost impossible to imagine. Their names, their service, and the conflicts they entered would eventually find places in the public landscape of St. Augustine.

10,000-capacity JAX Amphitheater debuts at Jacksonville Fairgrounds

Less than a week before JJ Grey and Mofro were due to take the stage and open the new Jacksonville Amphitheater, crews were busy installing railings and a new robot mower sat in a corner, ready to go to work on the lawn that will soon seat thousands of fans. The amphitheater is on the backside of Duval Hall , the multipurpose venue at the new Jacksonville Fairgrounds. It makes its debut Thursday night, when Jacksonville's own JJ Grey & Mofro take the stage on opening night of the Jacksonville Fair. With a capacity of 10,000 fans, it's the largest purpose-built outdoor concert venue in the Jacksonville market. It holds roughly twice as many fans as the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, and Daily's Place , the downtown Jacksonville amphitheater that is closed this year and next due to EverBank Stadium construction. It's not much smaller than the indoor VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, which can seat around 12,000 for a concert. The fair runs for 11 days , from Nov. 5-15, and there will be a concert in the amphitheater every night. A concert ticket includes access to the fair, but a fair ticket won't get you into the concerts, except for
