Micanopy

Micanopy's historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Micanopy's quiet and beautiful streets are lined with historic buildings housing unique shops and cafes and well-preserved historic homes and dwellings.  This jewel of a town has served as the backdrop for films "Doc Hollywood," with Michael J. Fox and "Cross Creek," with Mary Steenburgen.

While Hollywood loves to visit, it certainly hasn't changed the ambiance of this quiet town. Visitors leisurely wander in and out of shops selling antiques, old books, ceramics, stained glass, jewelry and other specialized arts and crafts. The town offers a four star bed and breakfast--The Herlong Mansion--and great restaurants nearby.
