To the east and to the south, the Suwannee River cradles Jasper. About 90 miles from Tallahassee or Jacksonville, you can be swept away by the beauty of its nature and history. Located in Hamilton County, the Central Gateway, Jasper offers a relaxed and peaceful stay, although there are many things to do and explore.
Nearby, along the banks of the Suwannee River, set inside of the moss covered oaks and tall pines is the Stephen Foster State Folk and Cultural Center. This beautiful park holds exhibits and special events within its natural picturesque setting. The culture and heritage of Florida are shown through its performing and cultural arts and craft shows.
The Old Jail Museum is worth exploring. Built in 1893, it displays the early history of North Central Florida, and it is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Throughout Jasper and its surrounding areas, you will enjoy the great outdoors. For recreation, there are canoeing, biking, hiking and nature trails. You can view the varied wildlife in its natural habitat, or find a perfect spot amongst the beautiful wildflowers for an afternoon picnic.
