Vernon, FL

united states

Vernon is a small county seat in Florida's Panhandle hill country, about an hour from both Panama City and Dothan, Alabama. State Road 79 connects it north to Interstate 10 and south toward the coast, while SR-2 runs east-west through town. The area's rolling pine forests and agricultural land create scenery unusual for Florida. The 1927 brick courthouse anchors the town square after fire destroyed its wooden predecessor.
