Gigantic oaks shade a beautiful
park with fountains, gazebo
and a confederate civil war
memorial. Just across the
street (highway 90) is a
quaint downtown district,
anchored with a stately and
historic courthouse. (right)




The best food in town is at the One- Eleven Grill (above). Nearby, an antebellum mansion preserves the Old South's legacy and offers tours.
 Just out of town explore  O'Toole's
Herb farm,  and Blue Springs with sparkling clear waters open
to swimmers and divers. Also
Jellystone Park  is a  shady oasis with two sparkling lakes.

Madison

Located about an hour east
of Tallahassee is the sleepy Mayberry-like town of Madison. Pleasantly lost
  in time it is a refreshing departure from the hubub.



Brick store fronts dating
from the early 20th century
characterize the unhurried pace of Madison. Browse
Madison Antique Market
(above) the Market Place
and Janet Moses & Co. (below) to see here
folk art and sip tea
in the tea room.



Take a detour off the interstate and explore
Madison. Spend the night
 at the elegant Grace Manor in nearby Greenville.

Madison is on old Route 90,
east of Tallahassee and
North of I 10.
