  • Florida Before Disney: The Lost Spring Resorts | Rick Kilby

    Before Disney, Florida had spring resorts with hotels, rail connections and a four-story springhouse with elevators. What drew visitors to these “healing waters,” and what remains today?


    Author and designer Rick Kilby joins Austin Lipka on Talk Your Walk for the 2026 relaunch to explore White Springs, Green Cove Springs and Suwannee Springs, from visitors seeking relief to the Fountain of Youth claims used to market the waters.


    The conversation also explores Orlando before Disney, the changing health of Florida’s springs, and a personal question: when we miss “Old Florida,” are we grieving a real loss or remembering our younger selves? Rick shares how learning your town’s history can change the way you care for it.
