Set amidst 52 acres of breathtaking Florida flora and fauna, the Tallahassee Museum has served as an iconic Tallahassee landmark for more than 50 years.  Ranked as one of Florida’s top museums, the Museum encourages guests to discover and learn about North Florida’s natural environment, rich history and diverse communities.  The Museum’s living exhibits of native Florida wildlife in their natural environment, nature trails and native gardens are renowned by visitors of all ages.  The Museum’s Big Bend Farm immerses museum-goers in a 19th century farm experience, while exhibits in the 1890s Concord school, the Seaboard Airline Caboose, the 1937 Bethlehem Missionary Baptist church and at the mid-19th century Bellevue cotton plantation explore the history of Southern communities.  Daily programs, annual events, free parking, a museum store and the Trail Break Café make the Museum a favored destination for more than 100,000 annual visitors.  The Tallahassee Museum is a not-for-profit, funded by private donations, grants, sponsorships, membership and fundraisers.
