Road TripsAbout Ocala Ocala (oh-KAL-a) has moss-draped oaks and stately old Southern homes along many of its streets. The 1888 Ocala Bible Chapel (729 N.E. 2nd St.), formerly United Hebrews of Ocala, is said to be the second oldest standing synagogue in Florida and among the oldest in the United States, though it is no longer used as a synagogue.
The surrounding area is considered the heartland of Florida's Thoroughbred industry. It is possible to visit some of the horse farms. Particularly scenic segments of two highways approach Ocala: US 301 from Waldo and US 27 from Williston.
