Well in Tampa or near it anyway is Ybor City the old cigar manufacturing town, a definite history spot. Tarpon Springs just north of Tampa is an old greek sponge fishing town, worth a visit. St Augustine of course is the oldest settlement in America and has a lot of thoroughly restored historical sites.
Take a look at this interactive map of the state parks:

Koroshan SP down near Ft Myers is the remains of a utopian cult back in the 1800's. I haven't been there but some RV bloggers do camp hosting down there, I think he is a cook. And there is Mound Key not to far from there which is an archaeological park. Collier Seminole has an exhibit of the dredge used to cut the Tamiami Canal all the way across the state.
If you work your way thru those parks you'll find many are at historical sites and/or Indian relic sites. There are several parks devoted to the Seminole Wars back in Andrew Jackson'1s days. You could spend lots of time working your way thru a set of those and easily set up a loop path. Florida has almost 200 parks now and is adding more all the time. I have given up on visiting all of them...heh.
