They say that Tallahassee’s canopy roads are the glorious remnants of the Red Hill Region’s old plantation system. In those days, cotton, timber, and other crops were transported in wagons down roads established on old Indian Trails. To keep everyone cooler going to and from the market, antebellum landowners planted mostly live oak trees along the main roads. Some hundred years later, I found myself as a very young girl enchanted with our forefather’s shade. I thought the old roads looked like illustrations in one of my children’s books. I would get so excited when the car turned and we were suddenly in one of their ethereal tunnels. I just knew that along those magical roads, animals could talk and princes rode horses–and I would look for them in the dappled understories as we drove along.
