Scenic Sumter Heritage Byway was designated in May 2013 by the Florida Scenic Highway Program. It is 62 miles in length and encompasses all the intrinsic resources of Sumter County.

Our mission is to promote and protect the natural beauty, recreational potential, and outstanding historical resources and traditions of the Scenic Sumter Heritage Byway for residents, visitors and future generations.

It is our vision that the synergy developed through strong partnerships, education, and resource advocacy creates a nationally recognized byway that showcases the natural, scenic, recreational, and heritage resources of Sumter County, and those community decisions are based on part of these special values.
