There's no need to go to the main office and wait all day just to get a # to find out at the end of…read morethe day you weren't going to be seen at all. I sometimes go to this out of the way branch and there's sometimes no waiting at all. There is if you get there on the right day at the right time. Like with any other government agency it can all be in the timing. Everyone here is polite and helpful. Maybe it's because there's no cranky customers that have waited all day and direct their anger towards the cashier. So far it has always been a pleasant experience. keep in mind though the customer has to make sure they have all the correct paperwork. Be prepared or you will know what happens. ;)

TSA has rejected my Florida drivers license ID every time I have gone through security. They state…read moreit does not scan the barcode on the back of the license. This has occurred at 4 different airport TSA security checkpoints. I made an appointment and went to have the license reprinted. The customer service person said since they scanned it their in their machine without a problem, the license was valid and would cost $31 to reprint, with no guarantee that it would work with TSA. I did not have it reprinted. Make sure you have a valid boarding pass and all will work fine. TSA reports this is a problem with all Florida and Colorado drivers license ids. TSA has no problem with 96% of the country, maybe Florida should get there act together and update their license.

Located along SR24, this marker is the pointer in front of the Haile Homestead and is easily…read moreaccessible from the road. You might not be touring the homestead but reading the marker at least gives you an idea of what you can expect. It reads, "One of the oldest houses in Alachua County, the Historic Haile Homestead was the home of Thomas Evans Haile, his wife Esther Serena Chesnut Haile and 14 of their children. The Hailes came here from Camden, South Carolina in 1854 to establish a 1,500-acre Sea Island Cotton plantation which they named Kanapaha. Enslaved black craftsmen completed the 6,200-square-foot manse in 1856. The 1860 census showed 66 slaves living here. The Hailes survived bankruptcy in 1868 and turned the property into a productive farm, growing a variety of fruits and vegetables including oranges. Serena Haile died in 1895; Thomas in 1896. The Homestead, which passed to son Evans, a prominent defense attorney, became the site of house parties attended by some of Gainesville's most distinguished citizens. The Hailes had the unusual habit of writing on the walls; all together over 12,500 words with the oldest writing dating to the 1850's. The Homestead was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. A restoration was completed in 1996. Still partly owned by descendants of Evans Haile, the Homestead is one of the few remaining homesteads built by Sea Island cotton planters in this part of Florida." It is marker number F-548 and it was erected in 2005 by the Historic Haile Homestead and the Florida Department of State. It was too early in the morning to tour the home. Maybe the next time I'm in Gainesville. [Review 364 of 2025 - 2016 in Florida - 23926 overall]

This plantation house, built in 1854, is a national historic landmark, maintained by the Haile…read morefamily and a public historical foundation. It is open 10-2 Saturday and 12-4 Sunday. It's $5 to get in, which includes a guided tour. Can you even comprehend the value?! Oh, the value! The most interesting thing about the house isn't that it's pre-civil war, but that there are names, dates, records, and more scrawled across the walls. The Haile family who lived there were evidently encouraged to practice their handwriting on the walls. My favorite scrawling reads "THE HOUSE WAS BRIEFLY ALIVE." There's so much material written, though, that you're likely to find something even better.
