Monticello, Florida: Historical Attractions in the Panhandle

As befits a town named after Thomas Jefferson’s estate in Virginia (though locals will be quick to point out that the pronunciation differs), the mood in Monticello is gracious, historical, and Southern. Among the 19th-century buildings you’ll find in town are antebellum homes and the Victorian-era Perkins Opera House, where plays and musicals are still staged today. For a glimpse of the remoter past, head to Letchworth-Love Mounds Archaeological State Park, home to a massive earthwork mound built more than 1,000 years ago by Native Americans for ceremonial purposes.
