Two Central Florida Surprises
If your a flea market person you'll want to take in the Webster, FL flea market billed as Florida's largest (and they have some big ones). I took in about 1/3 of the booths last Monday and, according to my phone, walked a little over 3 miles. Will get to more another week. Here's some info: http://websterwestsidefleamarket.com/
If your a history buff, did you know that Custer wasn't the only officer to lead his men into a trap that killed most of the company? The Dade Battlefield state park is the site of the ambush that started the Seminole wars and the visitors center is a wealth of information on those conflicts and how they planted a few seeds for the Civil War. Here's their website: https://www.floridastateparks.org/park/Dade-Battlefield
If your an Escapee member, Sumter Oaks campground is central to these attractions.

Another great place to visit is the Florida National Cemetery, it is absolutely beautiful. I have been there a number of times on missions for veterans as I ride with the Patriot Guard Riders. I am not in Bushnell now, we moved to Sebring for the warmer weather so I do missions at the Sarasota National Cemetery.

You're right, I should have mentioned that also.

Being an almost life long Floridian, and the son of a native, I have a relative that was killed in the Dade Massacre. John Yule Barnes is buried in a mass grave with the rest of his compatriots in the national cemetery in St Augustine. Marked with a large pyramid shaped headstone.

Also, the restaurant at the flea market is open all week and the breakfast buffet is to die for (and of course it might kill you ) if you like down home cooking.
