Florida Heritage Tourism Interactive Catalog
Today’s Florida derives from a rich and diverse history. Home to Native Americans for more than 12,000 years, Spanish explorers became the first Europeans to claim our shores early in the 16th century.
In 21st-century Florida, the tradition continues in which almost everyone is from somewhere else. Evidence of our heritage is visible throughout the state. Residents and visitors can discover lighthouses, museums, historic neighborhoods, parks and sanctuaries, battlefields and underwater preserves, historic homes, and archaeological sites.
From St. Augustine’s Castillo de San Marcos to the international allure of the Miami Beach Art Deco historical district, Florida is the world’s premier visitor destination.
