For Fans Of Local History, High Springs Museum Is A Hidden Treasure
By Reagan Knight
April 21, 2021
With a population just over 5,000, the city of High Springs is nevertheless home to some of the most fascinating and rich history in Alachua County.
Its roots stem from early development along the Santa Fe River and a massive train hub, and the city is now trying to preserve its history with the town’s only museum.
However, COVID-19 and a lack of volunteers meant the museum had to shut down for over a year. Eventually, it has started opening again first for just once a month and by appointment only.

It is expected to draw 8.6 million residents and tourists annually. With the completion of the 750-mile Empire State Trail in December, New York can now claim the longest state multiuse trail in the US. And given that one can now walk or bike from lower Manhattan to the Canadian border or hang a left at Albany and get to Buffalo mostly off-road it’s undoubtedly one of the most diverse, freeing us from our cars to experience everything from SoHo to the Erie Canal from whole new perspectives.
