Stephen Foster State Folk Cultural Center

Florida Panhandle


With lush green hills and monolithic live oak trees, the park has a museum of Florida history that you'd swear is a 19th-century plantation. The three-day Florida Folk Festival, a celebration of traditional Floridian music, crafts, food and culture, takes place here every Memorial Day weekend. Campsites ($20) and cabins ($100) are available.
