Kennedy Boulevard

Kennedy Boulevard is part of an historic trail located in Eatonville, Florida and is approximately 15 minutes drive from Orlando. A walk along the Eatonville Historical Trail provides visitors with the opportunity to see many places of interest along Kennedy Boulevard. To begin the trail, visitors can park on the north side of Kennedy Blvd between Calhoun Avenue and Carver Street and walk to the lot just east of the Eatonville Commercial Center.

The first buildings to be found on the south side of Kennedy Boulevard are the late 19th century Town Hall and the Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, which opened in 1999. The current church building replaced an older one across the street that was built in 1909 and is still standing but has now been converted into a home. On the southwest corner is Heroes' Nightclub, which has played host to some great singers including Aretha Franklin, James Brown and Tina Turner.

The trail continues with more church sites, stores and schools amongst other historic buildings. A major attraction here is the Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts, which has exhibits celebrating Eatonville's most famous resident and the first black graduate. There is also a monument to her located on the south side of Kennedy Boulevard.
