Reviewed By rlhersh - Micanopy, United States
Wonderful free museum depicting the world in Micanopy from founding to mid 20th century. Opportunity to touch the tools and implements used by settlers and towns folk during the early years of Micanopy. Also tells the story of how the indians were treated (mistreated) and how Micanopy came before Gainesville. Good for adults and children alike.
