Although everyone enjoys visiting sites like Disney World when they're in Florida, it's a
shame to miss out on the many historical sites dotting the landscape of the Sunshine
State. If you're considering taking your RV to warmer climates this summer, first
research some RV camping guides or RV travel guides that will highlight fascinating
historical sites to give you a relaxing break from crowded beaches and loud theme
parks.
RV Travel Guide Destination For Readers And Writers: Hemingway's Home
Ernest Hemingway's powerful prose has made him one of America's best loved writers.
He left an indelible mark in literary circles, and his home near Key West, Florida is a
treasure trove of artifacts from his life. The house is where he did the majority of his
writing and where he produced some of his finest novels. No RV travel guide can leave out this house museum, where Hemingway penned
some of his finest work. Tours are offered highlighting the house's unusual architectural features, Hemingway's fine collection of Spanish
furniture, and the many six-toed descendants of his cat, who now roam the property in happy independence.
RV Travel Guide Destination For Anyone Who Loves Greek Food and Culture: Tarpon
Springs
Tarpon Springs was a relatively small town before divers discovered high-quality, natural
sponges in the warm waters and turned them into a cottage industry. Craftsmen and artists from
around the globe covet the sponges for their wonderful textures and absorbency. Sponge divers
from Greece migrated to Tarpon Springs long ago, opening up the sponge docks and creating a
wonderful Greek-American culture. Don't miss the many fine restaurants, artisan shops and
bakeries filled with Greek treats. Local museums also highlight the city's vibrant history.
RV Travel Guide Destination For Colonial History Buffs: Heritage Village
The city of Largo, located in West Central Florida, features an area called Heritage Village, an
immersive living history museum. This unique site contains twenty-eight historic buildings rang-
ing from individual homes to a blacksmith's forge, where demonstrations of pioneer skills will
impress you with the ingenuity and skill of our colonial ancestors. Interactive stations for
children and a nature trail focusing on native plants will make your visit to Heritage Village
enjoyable for the whole family.
RV Travel Guide Destination For Spanish-American History Buffs: Fortress of Castillo
de San Marcos
Florida history is rich with Spanish influence, and the Fortress of Castillo de San Marcos vivid-
ly captures our rocky Spanish past. Construction on the fort began in 1672 in order to help the
Spanish defend their claim to the New World. Over 330 years of battles, betrayals, and brav-
ery are captured within the stone walls of Castillo de San Marcos.
Live re-enactments of major battles, demonstrations of military equipment and weapons, and
interesting lectures from trained Rangers all enhance your experience within the fortress
walls.
RV Travel Guide Destination For Shoppers: St. Augustine's Historic District
After you've enjoyed the Fortress of Castillo de San Marcos, wander through St. Augustine's historic district. The homes and shops are
beautiful examples of colonial architecture with a great deal of Spanish influence. The bounty you'll find in the many fine museum shops,
locally owned restaurants and endless boutiques will thrill your inner shopper.

ing guides on the Internet. You'll find many have excellent resources for planning your next vacation.
