The history of Levyville is short. The county seat for only a few years in the mid-1800s, the town slowly atrophied after losing its positioin to Bronson in 1870, and was virtually non-existant by the early 1900s. The railroad could "make or break" a town, and bypassing Levyville definitely broke it. There was a Civil War skirmish fought in the area. The "new" courthouse, built in 1867, which became redundant when Bronson became the county seat.was, sold to the newly-formed Masonic Lodge #51 in 1870, and eventually moved to Chiefland. All that remains of this historic town are two cemeteries.
Please be respectful, and do not drive into the burial area of the cemetery. There is ample parking in the section west of the cache location.
