The Absolutely Essential Guide to Winter Park: The Village in the Heart of Central Florida

Tucked near the bustling theme parks of Orlando, Florida, is a little village full of history with a lovely name:  Winter Park, Florida.  From its museums to its old-fashioned Central Park--complete with train station--to its chic Park Avenue filled with shops and restaurants, Winter Park is a delightful day trip away from the artificial and into the genuine of Florida's past and present. The Absolutely Essential Guide to Winter Park is a 129-page guide to the little town's history, world-class museums, and delightful destinations, including the Scenic Boat Tour--one of the few genuine eco-tours available in any Florida town.  This book is a must read for anyone coming to Central Florida, or any family considering Rollins College for their student.  Featuring vintage postcards of Winter Park, the guide is as lovely as the town and is something you'll want to read, enjoy, and share with friends and family.
