Micanopy transformed into 1800s Georgia backdrop for ‘A Land Remembered’ TV series

The small Alachua County town of Micanopy underwent an extensive makeover — its downtown streets covered in red clay and fitted with period façades — to serve as a stand-in for 1800s Georgia during filming of a television adaptation of Patrick D. Smith’s novel ‘A Land Remembered.‘ Director Todd Wiseman said the production aims to resurrect a vision of old Florida that has largely vanished. The four-part miniseries, which also uses Paynes Prairie as a filming location, is still seeking a streaming buyer and has no confirmed air date.
