Orlando, FL – Florida Road Trip visits Highlands County, a destination where time seems to stand still. Traveling around Highlands County, the show makes several stops including the Lake Placid Historical Society Depot Museum, Maxwell Groves Country Store and the Sebring International Speedway.
“A visit to Highlands County offers a unique chance to journey back in time,” said Scott Fais, Host of Florida Road Trip. "With its roads lined with orange groves, charming town squares and the warm embrace of the residents, you’ll truly feel like you’ve stepped into the heart of old Florida.”
Highlands County is home to many hidden gems and this episode of Florida Road Trip reveals some of the earliest history of the cities and town that form the region. Find out which one of them has ties to Melvin Dewey of the Dewey Decimal System.
