Dade City Florida is a small town located about an hours drive north east of Tampa. Dade City is home to the 16 acre Pioneer Florida Museum that examines and illustrates Florida’s state history. Be sure to spend a few hours strolling downtown Dade City‘s walkable streets. It’s one of those rare downtown areas where motorists actually slow down for pedestrians. Browse the antique stores, gift shops, boutiques and other haunts, and stop for a bite at one of Dade City’s several fine restaurants.
