Movie Set-Ready

Micanopy looks and feels like a snapshot of a different era. Its turn-of-the-century buildings, as well as cracker-style cottages and gargantuan live oaks have attracted Hollywood filmmakers looking for a ready-made Southern setting.

According to local accounts, Tom Petty, during his brief stay in Micanopy, lived on the second floor of the two-story, Cholokka Boulevard building on the left. Today, the first floor houses Delectable Collectables, an antique and cameo shop.
