Rough Rider Customs

Rent a canoe from Canoe Escape, located minutes from downtown Tampa. Take the whole family on a paddling adventure on the Hillsborough River that surrounds a 16,000 acre wildlife preserve. Pack a lunch and bring your camera to capture pictures of the alligators, snakes, turtles and birds you'll see on your adventure.

Learn about the man who came from Cuba and built a city at the Ybor City Museum. Learn about the history of the cigar industry and cigar making, and discover the rich Latin heritage and culture of the area. The museum is located in a "casita", reminiscent of a typical cigar-worker's family home; the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visit the museum store to purchase fine hand-rolled cigars and memorabilia.
