Taylor County

Nestled in the north Florida's "Big Bend" region, Taylor County offers a unique blend of history, outdoor recreation, and small-town charm. Spanning over 1,200 square miles, it's a haven for nature lovers with opportunities for fishing, hunting, hiking, and exploring. The county seat, Perry, exudes a friendly small-town atmosphere, while the surrounding areas are a tapestry of rolling hills, lush forests, and sparkling waterways. Taylor County also boasts a rich history, dating back to the Seminole people and the early days of Florida's settlement. Nicknamed the "Tree Capital of the South", the county was once a major timber producer, and the Forest Capital Museum State Park honors this heritage. Today, the annual Florida Forest Festival held here celebrates the county's forestry legacy.
