One of Florida's prettiest small towns, Lake Placid boasts nearly 50 outdoor murals adorning its downtown buildings. Found in the lake-intensive center of the state and known as the Caladium Capital of the World, Lake Placid’s attractions include 27 freshwater lakes, Toby's Clown School and a small-town charm people love. The annual Caladium Festival is held the end of July. Enjoy the Depot Museum, home of the red caboose and local history artifacts. Source: Visit Florida
Personal Notes: Knowing that there were over 45 Murals in town, upon arriving in Lake Placid, we first found the Historic Lake Placid train depot - now a museum. On the way there however, we passed and captured at least 12-15 murals in downtown. All the murals were beautiful, telling a story of the town and area through wall art. At the Museum, we met a very nice gentleman who shared more history and suggestions for additional murals. Learning the most popular mural was on the Tractor Supply store, we proceeded their passing and capturing maybe 6-8 more murals.
We see the mural but first go in the store to check for seed Ginger needed, and we found the deal of deals and nicest store attendant who helped us find diatomaceous earth for the garden ... AT A SALE THAT WAS 60-70% LESS THAN HOME! We pack up, headed home and 30 minutes away I said "we forgot to take a photo of the #1 mural. That made it easy to say "We'' be back".
