How Far From Casa Loma to ...

We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Casa Loma to various places of note, such as the White House.

With a nod to our favorite Gazetteers, the straight-line distance beginning in Casa Loma and extending to:

• Tallahassee, which is the State Capital of Florida, lies 199 miles [320.3 km]<1> to the north northwest (NNW). If you could drive a straight line from Casa Loma to Tallahassee, with an average speed<2>of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, it would take a little over three hours to make the trip. A comfortable walk of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour would take 12 days. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 8 days.
• The White House (Washington, DC) is 812 miles [1,306.8 km] to the north northeast (NNE). Driving would take just about two full days, a buggy would take 32 days and walking would take 47 days.
