Florida Heritage Travel Volume I: Places off the Beaten Path
Volume II contains 24 articles from the years 2013 and 2014. Examples of places you will read about include Yankeetown where Elvis made a movie; Cabbage Key where Jimmy Buffet was inspired to write Cheeseburger in Paradise; Mandarin, the winter home of Harriett Beecher Stowe, Green Cove Springs and the U.S. Navy mothball fleet and many other eclectic adventures across the state.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation defines cultural heritage tourism as “traveling 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 – many times ordinary everyday places – 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. It’s your choice. There is no plot. Its only goal is to entertain you.
