"Yankeetown is a small village of about 500 souls just upstream of where the Withlacoochee River flows into the Gulf of Mexico. It is known by old timers as the town where Elvis 'followed that dream'" It is a commercial fishing town today. The oak shaded streets are draped with Spanish moss and lined with examples of Old Florida cracker homes. The eclectic rambling buildings and ancient trees remind you of how the whole State of Florida used to be before it got discovered by Yankees back in the day." (SRC#1)
This was a by chance visit on our trip to Biloxi. A very small community with Old Florida 'feel'. Quiet, and quite isolated - feeling like a backroads location. It appears to a great place if you are a boater/fisherman with the Gulf only a few miles 'down yonder' Some great old homes to see.
