The Scenic Sumter Heritage Byway Corridor Management Entity (CME) is a partnership of elected officials, private citizens, business representatives and technical advisors who recognize the importance and value of the cultural, historic, recreational, natural and scenic resources located along our 62-mile Byway. The Byway winds through Sumter County from the Van Fleet Trail on SR 50 north through the county, ending at SR 44 at the Withlacoochee River and the Sumter/Citrus county line. The Scenic Sumter Heritage Byway was designated on May 2, 2013 as the 24th Florida Scenic Highway. Our mission is to promote and protect the natural beauty, recreational potential and outstanding historical resources and traditions of the byway for residents, visitors and future generations.

The Scenic Sumter Heritage Byway is launching a Donor Brick Program to help offset costs of informational kiosks that will be placed throughout the key areas along the byway. We invite you to help “pave the way” to helping us with this project and to prominently display a personalized engraved brick under a designated kiosk. This is a wonderful way to commemorate an individual or business to permanently have a lifetime legacy throughout Sumter County. You can honor a loved one, family, child, pet or organization, or advertise your business with your donation. Please see the ordering information below that will enable you to order one of these commemorative bricks. Your donation will be tax deductible under our 501(c)(3) organization.
