Cauley Square Historic Village

If you are fan of "Old Florida" sites, then Cauley Square Historic Village is a place you might consider visiting. Plenty of old Florida buildings connected by a winding brick path completely engulfed in shade trees. Easy to get to - exit 11 off the Turnpike, US 1 and SW 224th st. My girlfriend and I managed to spend a few hours checking out the shops and antiques and finished with a nice meal at the Village Chalet. We plan to do it again soon and try the Tea Room in the near future. Check out their web site calendar of events. I found this for June 6th.

  1. Never heard of this, sounds like my cup of tea, haha...I enjoyed a similar place near Tampa about 20 years ago, they had an old general store, old school house, a gabled home, and lots of other historic buildings moved to one site. I'll have to search through my old photo albums for the name. Definately going to check this one out, it's much closer to home.

  2. The Fruit and Spice Park and Cauley Square are relatively close to each other. If you are going to do one, I suggest add a few hours to your day and do both. The only thing I didn't like was that some of the "antiques" I saw where actually things I used as a kid. The rest came right out of my granparent's house.
