Florida Heritage Travel Volume I: Places off the Beaten Path

Florida Heritage Travel Volume I: Places off the Beaten Path

FLORIDA HERITAGE TRAVEL VOLUME I will entertain you with tidbits about Florida places off the beaten path and off beat people. The book is a collection of articles from the complementary newsletter emailed monthly by Mike Miller, the author of the travel website, FLORIDA-BACKROADS-TRAVEL.COM. The typical article includes photographs or vintage postcards of the subject person or place.
Volume 1 contains 42 articles from the years 2009 through 2012. Examples of places you will read about include Wigwam Village in Orlando; boom town Indialantic; The Kapok Tree restaurant in Clearwater; Doc Webbâ€™s drugstore in St. Petersburg; St. Augustineâ€™s Old Slave Market; Frank Lloyd Wright and the large collection of his buildings at Florida Southern College and a host of other eclectic meanderings throughout the state.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation defines cultural heritage tourism as â€œtraveling to experience the places, artifacts and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present. It includes cultural, historic and natural resourcesâ€. This is a fancy way to describe what Mike Miller does both in his website and the newsletter. He travels around Florida and visits places â€“ many times ordinary everyday places â€“ and fills in some of the history to give you a sense of how the place came about and what the people were like who lived there.
The book can be enjoyed one article at a time or read all at once. Itâ€™s your choice. There is no plot. Its only goal is to entertain you.
