History and Culture . . .

Steeped in history, Florida's Suwannee River Valley is a throwback to another era - a time your parents and grandparents recall fondly as un-harried, slow-paced and simpler. Take a stroll along the historic streets in any of the local counties, and an engaging sense of nostalgia and comfort envelops you as you pass old-fashioned pharmacies with real soda fountains at the counter, diners and luncheonettes, and Southern estates, bed and breakfasts and old-time churches.

Local color and town pride are absorbed in every corner of the tri-county area, and the museums, parks and historic sites reflect the region's profound heritage, from frontier days to the Civil War, to the last century's period of development and growth. Step back in time, uncover extraordinary chronicles and take in the soothing, quaint aspects of the rural communities found here.

A remarkable past spawns creativity, and so cultural opportunities abound throughout the region. A thriving arts guild in Suwannee County promotes arts awareness, education and entertainment. Museums, reenactments, festivals and antique galleries round out the cultural experience in Columbia County. From the Renaissance Festival and acclaimed music events at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, to the flourishing arts community, Craft Square, and continuous cultural events scheduled at Stephen Foster State Folk Culture Center in White Springs, the arts are alive and well in Florida's Suwannee River Valley.
