Take a drive to New Smyrna for a historical oddity, the Turnbull Ruins of Unknown Purpose. That’s right, there are ruins here of what is believed to be the foundation of a mansion, temple, church…or some other building, but the work was never completed.

Ochopee, FL is home to the smallest post office in the United States. Not for the claustrophobic, the post office serves the local Miccosukee and Seminole Indians.

Speaking of small, Florida, namely Carrabelle, is home to the smallest police station in the world! Way back when, the local police sat by w6g4tt5rwqnhefsk5ddhthe phone booth to monitor the town, and soon, calls came in to that booth alerting the police to troubles. Today, the original booth is enshrined in a local museum, but there is still a phone booth police station in operation at the center of town.

Of course, what would a trip to Florida be without a space adventure? A visit to Titusville will bring you many opportunities, from the US Astronaut Hall of Fame to the Shuttle Walk Experience and Kennedy Space Center, you’ll find everything a space enthusiast wants! download (2)              SSMonument_2
