One of the highlights of living in Florida is the ability to enjoy little pockets of history without even realizing it. Like the 17th century castle that is still around for people to explore. However, this one particular piece of history has changed over the years, but it is still as charming as ever. Take a look at the historic gas station in famed Plant City, Florida.
