 Established in 1763 as a trading post along the St. Johns River, Barberville is centered on a crossroads known by most inlanders headed to the beach - the junction of SR 40 and US 17. A can't-miss-the-kitsch antique store sits across the street from the Pioneer Settlement for the Creative Arts, a living history museum that invites you to explore Florida's past through historic structures such as an 1885 post office and 1920s pottery shed. The popular Volusia Speedway Park is five miles east of the crossroads, which is the link to the River of Lakes Scenic Byway.
