If exploring history is your kind of way to spend an afternoon, visit a historical site like the Haile Homestead, known for its “talking walls” featuring writing from family members and enslaved persons covering nearly every wall and closet in the entire home. Or take a stroll through nearby Micanopy, Florida’s oldest inland town (est. 1780).

From sushi to BBQ to fresh seafood to a locally favored Cuban bakery, Gainesville has as a lot to offer a discerning — or maybe just a hungry — diner.

These many outdoor activities are enjoyed year-round courtesy of northern Florida’s climate. The summers are long (and pretty hot), and the winters are short and cool. The temperature over the year varies from 44 degrees to 90 degrees, and rarely gets below 30 degrees or above 94 degrees. If you like warm weather, Gainesville if your kind of town.
