This Is What Florida Looked Like 100 Years Ago.

Have you ever wished you could go back in time?  If you could, Florida would be a great place to do so.

There’s a reason so many people speak fondly of Old Florida.  Florida has a unique and fascinating history, and we’d like to share a piece of it through these photos.

Some dates given are approximate, but they should all be at least a century old.  This is what makes photographs so neat!
