About the Heritage Crossroads: Miles of History Heritage Highway
The segments of road and the communities that comprise this byway embrace the heritage of the people who built the region. For over 300 years, Native American tribes, European conquerors, colonists who settled in this region, and even pre-Interstate Highway era tourists have traveled the network of roads that make up the Heritage Crossroads : Miles of History Scenic Highway .
Students of history can find Indigenous settlement sites, preserved marching trails, and European encampments, with many of the back road sites relatively unchanged by time.
Travelers can hike, bike, or even drive on the “Old Brick Road” segment. This is one of Florida’s (and the nation’s) first significant roadways, completed around 1917!

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
