Shopping in Havana

Shopping in Havana

Historic Havana is one of Florida's most unique villages. First settled in the earliest years of Florida's development, it was soon driven by shade tobacco's economic engine. The town was named after Havana, Cuba, for its renown as a high-quality tobacco-growing and cigar-making center. Although the town suffered a devastating fire in 1916, it rose from the ashes, and today, Havana is well known as an arts center and mecca for antiques. Enterprising entrepreneurs began filling old brick buildings with shops and art galleries in a renaissance of historical preservation. Havana has more than 40 antique shops, art galleries, artist studios, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. The North Florida Arts Trail runs through Havana and includes many historic buildings. Havana is located on U.S. 27, just minutes north of Tallahassee and the I-10 interchange in eastern Gadsden County.
