WELCOME to<br />

LAKE PLACID<br />

Hello! As executive<br />

director of the Greater<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> Chamber of<br />

Commerce, I want to thank you<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>.<br />

I hope that this directory will<br />

prove useful to you. It includes a<br />

wealth of information that you<br />

will find interesting about our<br />

area, whether you are a resident,<br />

visiting us, or planning to relocate<br />

here.<br />

We have included information on<br />

our history, our town, area<br />

demographics, things to see and<br />

do, and, most importantly of all, a<br />

list of our valued members. We<br />

think you will find this listing<br />

helpful to you when you are<br />

looking for accommodations,<br />

assistance, merchants,<br />

professional services, realtors and<br />

other information.<br />

I call your attention, too, to the<br />

fact that our website can be found<br />

at www.visitlakeplacidflorida.com<br />

and it contains the latest<br />

information. If you don’t find the<br />

Hopefully, the next time you are<br />

in the area you will stop by to say<br />

“hello” to me, my staff and our<br />

wonderful volunteers. How you<br />

got here is not as important as the<br />

HISTORY of<br />

LAKE PLACID<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> Town Hall<br />

The land comprising present-day<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> was<br />

opened to homesteading<br />

by an act of Congress in 1909 as<br />

most of the native Seminole Indians<br />

had, by then, been forcibly<br />

moved to Oklahoma or had fled<br />

into the swamps further south.<br />

Just three years later, there were<br />

75 homesteaders in the area,<br />

according to an unofficial census.<br />

As was customary during that<br />

period, the name of the settlement<br />

changed frequently. First, it<br />

was called <strong>Lake</strong> Buck, then <strong>Lake</strong><br />

June and then <strong>Lake</strong> Stearns,<br />

named after U.S. Surveyor<br />

General Marcellus Stearns.<br />

Things picked up a bit for the<br />

fledgling community in 1916<br />

when the Atlantic Coast Line<br />

Railroad began operations in the<br />

area to move timber, turpentine<br />

and people up and down the<br />

center of the Sunshine State. The<br />

settlement name was changed to<br />

Weco (or Wicco) to coincide with<br />

the name of the railroad stop. By<br />

1924 citrus production and land<br />

development began and the town<br />

was again listed as <strong>Lake</strong> Stearns.<br />

Things changed quickly when Dr.<br />

Melvil Dewey "discovered" the<br />

town in 1927 and thought the<br />

area looked a great deal like his<br />

native <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>, New York.<br />

Dewey earned fame as the<br />

creator of the library cataloging<br />

method called the Dewey<br />

Decimal System. He had a<br />

vision that <strong>Lake</strong> Stearns could<br />

be a semitropical branch of his<br />

beloved <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> Club in the<br />

Adirondack Mountains in New<br />

York state.<br />

Dewey hoped to attract wealthy<br />

members of his club to come<br />

south during the winter, so he<br />

built a hotel in town for rich<br />

14 Welcome to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>

tourists. Dewey convinced the<br />

town to change the name from<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Stearns to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> to<br />

sell his resort idea back in <strong>Lake</strong><br />

<strong>Placid</strong>, New York. Town leaders<br />

followed Dewey’s lead and<br />

convinced the state to change<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Stearns to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> in<br />

1927.<br />

Thus, the town began its status<br />

as a resort destination. Dewey's<br />

dream did, indeed, bring the<br />

rich and famous to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>.<br />

Among the visitors to the<br />

newly-named <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> were<br />

inventor Thomas Edison,<br />

automobile visionary Henry<br />

Ford, tire magnate Harry S.<br />

Firestone, baseball legend Babe<br />

Ruth and even the notorious<br />

gangster Al Capone.<br />

The Great Depression<br />

interrupted the growth Dewey<br />

had anticipated. But <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong><br />

has managed to keep<br />

the same name for 92<br />

years and has grown<br />

into a wonderful place<br />

to raise families, for<br />

retirement and for<br />

vacation. While<br />

residents enjoy the<br />

benefits of small-town<br />

living, there is also a lot<br />

more than you’d expect<br />

packed into about two<br />

and a half square miles.<br />

The heat of summer<br />

doesn't deter the annual<br />

Caladium Festival<br />

that showcases a unique<br />

farming industry and<br />

the reason for one of<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>’s nicknames,<br />

“The Caladium<br />

Capital of the World.”<br />

Some 70-80 percent of<br />

the world’s caladiums<br />

are grown here from<br />

seed and their bulbs<br />

shipped to market. A<br />

highlight of the<br />

Caladium Festival is<br />

a car and motorcycle<br />

show that is<br />

rightfully billed as the<br />

largest summertime car<br />

show in the southeast.<br />

The Arts & Crafts<br />

Country Fair, staged<br />

each February, is<br />

organized and staged by<br />

an all-volunteer<br />

committee. The two-day<br />

celebration is now<br />

celebrated as a mecca<br />

for arts and crafts<br />

enthusiasts and spans<br />

uptown DeVane Park<br />

and at nearby <strong>Lake</strong><br />

<strong>Placid</strong> Middle School.<br />

The reason for another<br />

nickname, “Town of<br />

Murals,” is evident<br />

to anyone who visits.<br />

<strong>Visitors</strong> immediately<br />

notice the beautiful<br />

and informative murals<br />

that adorn commercial<br />

buildings. The murals<br />

tell the story of<br />

historical events and<br />

people of <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>.

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> Country Fair Mural<br />

The vision of <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> as a<br />

“mural town” came from Bob and<br />

Harriet Porter who had seen a<br />

similar concept during a<br />

motorcycle adventure in Canada<br />

and returned home to create the<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> Mural Society. From<br />

humble beginnings, the Mural<br />

Society now boasts 47 giant<br />

outdoor murals in its collection.<br />

In 2013, the town added yet<br />

another nickname: “The Most<br />

Interesting Town in America,”<br />

according to a readers' vote<br />

conducted by Reader’s Digest<br />

magazine.<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> is also home to the<br />

American Clown Museum and<br />

School, where classes account for<br />

more than 1,600 graduates<br />

TOWN of<br />

MURALS<br />

The Town of Murals is<br />

a very special, colorful<br />

place.<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> has been called many<br />

things, “America’s Most<br />

Interesting Town” by Reader’s<br />

Digest, the Caladium Capital of<br />

the World, quaint, charming and<br />

friendly. Perhaps the best-known<br />

moniker is the “Town of Murals.”<br />

Forty-seven murals grace the<br />

business walls lining the uptown<br />

district. These larger than life<br />

artistic creations show the rich<br />

history of the town from its<br />

beginnings with the Cracker Trail<br />

and Dr. Melvil Dewey to more<br />

contemporary times.<br />

History seems to be<br />

brought to life as tourists<br />

take the self-guided<br />

walking tour of the<br />

murals. The sound of<br />

cracking whips on<br />

Cracker Trail Cattle<br />

Drive and buzzing of<br />

bees in The Lost Cub<br />

Bear add even more to<br />

the experience. <strong>Visitors</strong><br />

Part of the “Captain” T.W. Webb Mural<br />

may be stumped as they<br />

search for hidden objects<br />

in some of the murals.<br />

Original renderings and<br />

a 10-minute video can<br />

be viewed in the Mural<br />

Gallery Room inside<br />

the Greater <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong><br />

Chamber of Commerce<br />

building at 18 N. Oak

Ave. Color mural guide books are<br />

at the chamber office for $4 and<br />

A special mural entitled “Town<br />

of Murals- How it All Began”<br />

highlights Bob and Harriet<br />

Porter, co-founders of the <strong>Lake</strong><br />

<strong>Placid</strong> Mural Society. The mural<br />

depicts their Gold Wing motorcycle<br />

that they traveled with. It<br />

was during these travels that the<br />

Porters visited a small town in<br />

Vancouver Island, B.C., which<br />

was brought back from the brink<br />

of financial disaster through<br />

tourism its murals created. The<br />

Porters brought the idea back to<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> and in 1993, the first<br />

mural was painted and the rest is<br />

a colorful history.<br />

The masterpieces have been<br />

created by many artists over the<br />

years. Keith Goodson has<br />

painted the most with a total<br />

of 17 to his credit. His latest is<br />

called “Snapshot in Time,”<br />

completed in 2016.<br />

The society has also included<br />

artwork to disguise garbage<br />

containers around the town.<br />

Some are miniature trains, cars<br />

and even a turpentine can, each<br />

significant to the town’s history.<br />

Indigenous birds painted on<br />

medallions are spread throughout<br />

the business district. Painted<br />

clown benches offer tourists rest.<br />

“The murals are funded by<br />

donations and sponsors,” said<br />

President Harriet Porter. “We<br />

repaint the murals and maintain<br />

the artwork throughout the year<br />

when they need it.”<br />

CALADIUM CAPITAL<br />

of the WORLD<br />

“Red Flash” caladium variety<br />

This summer, <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> will<br />

roll out the white, deep<br />

crimson, purple, bronze, pink<br />

and green foliage carpet for the 29th<br />

annual Caladium Festival.<br />

But who would have thought such a<br />

thing back in 1990, when two<br />

competing caladium growers –<br />

Carolyn Phypers of Happiness Farms<br />

and Dot Bates of Bates Sons and<br />

Daughters Caladiums – worked<br />

together and made the first festival<br />

possible?<br />

The idea to celebrate the caladium was<br />

first broached by Doris Gentry. A few<br />

years later, growers were prodded and<br />

helped by Ann Bond and Audrey<br />

Vickers from the Convention and<br />

<strong>Visitors</strong> Bureau. They suggested<br />

September, when caladiums were in<br />

full color and the month was slow for<br />

merchants.<br />

Unfortunately, the written history<br />

and an historical exhibit of the<br />

caladium industry were lost in a 2004<br />

hurricane, but enough survived in<br />

family files to tell the story and<br />

continue the festival.<br />

Happiness Farms was the Caladium<br />

Festival’s first location. To prepare,<br />

22 Welcome to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>

Bates and Phypers drove and<br />

walked around <strong>Lake</strong> Clay from<br />

County Road 621 to <strong>Lake</strong> Blue<br />

Estates and offered residents<br />

bags of free caladium bulbs if<br />

they agreed to plant them. Buses<br />

ferried visitors to see how<br />

beautifully caladiums could be<br />

incorporated into home<br />

landscapes and to see the<br />

colorful fields of the caladium<br />

farms. The festival had one bus<br />

and two runs the first year,<br />

increasing to 41 tours the second<br />

year.<br />

Two years later, the festival<br />

organizers added the WatersEdge<br />

neighborhood and left trays of<br />

bulbs in the cul-de-sac for any<br />

homeowners who wanted to<br />

plant them.<br />

Other growers in the first year<br />

were D & L Bulb Farm, Cooper’s<br />

“We wanted to help the<br />

Phypers said. Every year<br />

since, the festival has<br />

been held in Stuart Park<br />

on Interlake Boulevard.<br />

The festival was later<br />

changed to August<br />

because of hurricanes,<br />

and then again moved<br />

to the last weekend in<br />

July.<br />

Vera Rose and Julia<br />

Sapp clogged for the<br />

industry in a barn.<br />

Norma Stokes and the<br />

local Farm Bureau ladies<br />

provided lunch for<br />

everyone.<br />

Living first-generation<br />

caladium pioneers were<br />

recognized: Emmett<br />

and Mildred Bates,<br />

Paul Phypers Sr., Boots<br />

Holmes and Zena<br />

Hendry. Older growers<br />

sat in rocking chairs at<br />

the Caladium Arts and<br />

Crafts Cooperative and<br />

talked with visitors. The<br />

men stood under the<br />

shade cloth and<br />

answered questions.<br />

The meet-and-greet<br />

with growers was later<br />

moved into the airconditioned<br />

comfort<br />

of the Caladium Arts<br />

and Crafts Cooperative,<br />

with Dot and Maxine<br />

Kelley overseeing the<br />

historical aspect.<br />

Although the number of<br />

growers has decreased<br />

over the last few years,<br />

second generations<br />

have made their mark.<br />

Teri Bates grows new<br />

varieties in pots. Most<br />

members of the Bates<br />

and Phypers families<br />

can be seen throughout<br />

the festival each year,<br />

representing a third<br />

generation.<br />

“What sustained the<br />

festival have been the<br />

profits from selling the<br />

potted plants which<br />

Bates grows, and the<br />

caladium bulbs which<br />

Happiness Farms bags<br />

up and sells,” said Dot<br />

Bates.<br />

“All of that money went<br />

back into the festival to<br />

keep it going,” Phypers<br />

added.<br />

The festival was turned<br />

over to the Greater <strong>Lake</strong><br />

<strong>Placid</strong> Chamber of<br />

Commerce in 2007.<br />

That <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> is<br />

acknowledged as the<br />

Caladium Capital of the<br />

World is owed to the<br />

vision of a few<br />

enthusiasts who<br />

brought the unique<br />

plant to the U.S. more<br />

than 120 years ago, and<br />

a few dozen local

farmers who believed in the<br />

future of caladiums.<br />

It was in 1893 that Adolph<br />

Leitze, at the time living in Rio<br />

de Janeiro, exhibited more than<br />

400 varieties of hybrid caladiums<br />

at the World’s Fair in Chicago. He<br />

is credited with being the first<br />

to introduce Brazilian caladiums<br />

to the U.S., which aroused public<br />

and horticultural interest.<br />

Most people had never seen or<br />

heard of caladiums. “Here was a<br />

beautiful backyard plant, with<br />

terrific potential, that had gone<br />

virtually unnoticed by<br />

gardeners everywhere. A big part<br />

of the problem, of course, was<br />

that they were not in abundant<br />

supply,” according to The History<br />

of Caladiums.<br />

In 1910, two <strong>Florida</strong>’s pioneer<br />

horticulturists, Henry Nehrling<br />

of Gotha and Theodore L. Mead<br />

of Oviedo, began breeding<br />

caladiums in <strong>Florida</strong>. Nehrling<br />

is the father of famous varieties<br />

today: “Mrs. W.B. Halderman,”<br />

“Arno Nehrling,” “John Peed” and<br />

“Fannie Munson.”<br />

Meade focused on new<br />

lance-leafed varieties. After his<br />

death, caladium breeding went<br />

into a decline.<br />

The next significant caladium<br />

hybridizer was F.M. Joyner. The<br />

Tampa postman began his breeding<br />

efforts about 1937. Joyner’s<br />

hybrids were commercially grown<br />

by L.L. Holmes of <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> by<br />

a cooperative agreement:<br />

“Aaron,” “Crimson Beauty,”<br />

“Kathleen,” “White Queen” and<br />

“Postman Joyner.”<br />

In the 1950s, the Hoffman,<br />

Hendry and Bates families<br />

started growing caladiums in<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>. In 1964, Paul<br />

Phypers Sr. purchased half of a<br />

sod farm and converted fields to<br />

caladium production. Happiness<br />

Farms quickly became the largest<br />

caladium grower in <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>.<br />

Paul Phypers is credited with<br />

developing one of the 50<br />

varieties of caladiums<br />

commercially available today.<br />

The Galaxy variety resembles a<br />

field of colorful stars, and it is<br />

quite rare. ■<br />

LAKES and<br />

FISHING<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> can lay claim to 29<br />

named lakes, including <strong>Lake</strong><br />

Istokpoga, which happens<br />

to be the fifth-largest lake in the<br />

state of <strong>Florida</strong> at just under 30,000<br />

acres. <strong>Lake</strong> Istokpoga is larger than<br />

the remaining 28 other lakes<br />

combined and offers some of the<br />

best fishing you’ll find anywhere in<br />

the world.<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Istokpoga should be enjoyed<br />

solely for fishing, as its large<br />

number of alligators make it a place<br />

to avoid swimming or using your<br />

personal watercraft in. But have no<br />

fear, there are plenty of other areas<br />

in <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> where you can enjoy<br />

those activities if you prefer,<br />

including <strong>Lake</strong> June-in-Winter,<br />

Welcome to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> 27

which is the second-largest<br />

lake in <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> at 3,504<br />

acres, while <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong><br />

checks-in at 3,320 acres<br />

and is another good spot<br />

for swimming, skiing and<br />

boating.<br />

Both lakes have deep water,<br />

something missing from<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Istokpoga, as well as<br />

a smattering of vegetation<br />

that offers both shallow<br />

and deep water fishing<br />

opportunities. Many tree<br />

piles, as well as sunken<br />

boats, offer some of the<br />

best drop-shot fishing<br />

you’ll find anywhere.<br />

A relatively shallow,<br />

muck-bottom lake, <strong>Lake</strong><br />

Josephine is a 1,236-acre<br />

body of water that<br />

continues to provide some<br />

of the best topwater action.<br />

With an average depth of<br />

only 7 feet, <strong>Lake</strong> Josephine<br />

is a shore fisherman’s<br />

dream. Vegetation<br />

surrounds the lake and<br />

weedless spoons, frogs,<br />

spinnerbaits and plastic<br />

worms all produce numbers<br />

as well as size.<br />

There are plenty of<br />

public boat ramps,<br />

including four on <strong>Lake</strong><br />

Istokpoga, three on <strong>Lake</strong><br />

Josephine, and two each at<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>, <strong>Lake</strong> June-in-<br />

Winter and <strong>Lake</strong> Clay.<br />

It is important to note that<br />

all of the lakes in<br />

Highlands County have a<br />

good population of<br />

largemouth bass, and on<br />

any given day, a wallhanger<br />

can be caught on even the<br />

smallest bodies of water.<br />

28 Welcome to <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong>

Some of the lakes get absolutely<br />

no fishing pressure, and as a<br />

result, yield large numbers of<br />

bass as well as some real lunkers.<br />

Other larger and better known<br />

lakes that are under tremendous<br />

fishing pressure also produce<br />

high fish counts and even bigger<br />

trophy fish.<br />

Fishing is excellent at all <strong>Lake</strong><br />

<strong>Placid</strong> lakes, but there’s no<br />

denying that <strong>Lake</strong> Istokpoga is<br />

the star of the bunch,<br />

having a worldwide reputation as<br />

the place to fish in the state.<br />

Just because you’re at a lake,<br />

doesn’t mean you have to stick to<br />

fish, as there are also<br />

numerous wildlife viewing<br />

activities at many of the lakes.<br />

You can frequently find Great<br />

Egrets and White Ibises in the<br />

middle of <strong>Lake</strong> Istokpoga, while<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> Istokpoga Park has one of<br />

the largest numbers of Osprey<br />

nests in the United States. You<br />

can also find Bald Eagles, Purple<br />

Gallinules, Snail Kites, Sandhill<br />

Cranes and Wood Storks, among<br />

others, at the park.<br />

Those serious about spotting<br />

wading birds can launch their<br />

boats and visit Cypress Isle<br />

Marina at the southern portion<br />

of the lake, where it’s not<br />

uncommon to spot Crested<br />

Caracaras, Black-bellied<br />

Whistling-Ducks and Painted<br />

Buntings.<br />

Whether it’s fishing, water<br />

skiing or something else you<br />

enjoy, there is plenty to do on<br />

one of the many <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong><br />

<strong>Lake</strong>s throughout the year. ■<br />

College<br />

South <strong>Florida</strong> State College’s <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> Center<br />

was established in 1988 and offered adult<br />

education, child care, welding, and vocational, GED<br />

and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other<br />

Languages) courses.<br />

Prior to the SFSC Foundation's purchase of the<br />

building from the Highlands County School Board,<br />

it was utilized as a high school.<br />

In 1994, the current director, Randy Paeplow, took<br />

over the Center and has since expanded class<br />

offerings. Dual enrollment now makes up more<br />

than 25 percent of the Center’s population with<br />

students enrolled in college courses.<br />

At the <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> Center, students can take lab<br />

science classes, such as Introduction to Biology,<br />

Anatomy & Physiology 1, and Anatomy &<br />

Physiology 2, in fully stocked laboratories.<br />

Students enrolled in these courses typically<br />

pursue degrees in nursing, radiologic technology,<br />

and dental hygiene.<br />

Currently, the Center hosts community education<br />

classes in chair aerobics, low impact aerobics, and<br />

Zumba. In the future, the Center will introduce<br />

classes in office management and Quickbooks, and<br />

the College’s new mobile lab will visit the Center to<br />

offer classes in welding.<br />

JOBS<br />

In a December 2017 article published by USA<br />

TODAY, Highlands County ranked eighth in the<br />

nation for employment gains in 2017. Only one<br />

other <strong>Florida</strong> Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)<br />

made the list of “Top 25 cities adding (and losing)<br />

the most jobs in 2017.” The Naples-Immokalee-<br />

Marco Island MSA ranked 17th on the list. The<br />

Sebring MSA covers all of Highlands County.<br />

Industry<br />

Like much of rural <strong>Florida</strong>, Highlands County, and<br />

especially the greater <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Placid</strong> area, runs on<br />

citrus and cattle production. Numerous farms dot<br />

the landscape including Millers, which specializes<br />

in leafy vegetable crops and ships produce along<br />

the Eastern seaboard, and Happiness Farms and<br />

Bates Sons & Daughters, which are two of the<br />

largest caladium producers in the county. Other<br />

ag businesses in the area include Smoak Groves,<br />
