MISSION SAN LUIS DE APALACHEE REVIEWS
This is a nice informative museum that offers a unique interactive glimpse into Florida's early Spanish colonial history. Tallahassee's little Williamsburg. I was hoping to find native American artifacts and I was not disappointed. The residents of the mission park are engaging and knowledgeable and add an extra dimension to the museum experience. The fort commander knew his detail and the friar at the church authentically made me feel guilty and ashamed. I had a good time.
Really cool place to walk around and explore, all the volunteers are super friendly and informative. Entrance fee is low, you can probably bring your whole family for <$20 and spend the day; I actually got a membership for my family so we can go more often and help support it. My kids love to watch the blacksmith.
My second visit to the site. As a living history museum they have docents portraying members of the community. They provide insight into life at the mission in the 1600s. Very informative. I got there late and didn't have a lot of time. I would recommend it. There is a gallery with timelines and artifacts.

GOODWOOD MUSEUM & GARDENS REVIEWS
Lots of history here. The guide was very knowledgeable and explained to us in detail the opulence that the rich created off the enslaved folk's backs, and how, after liberation, many stayed behind to serve as employees rather than enslaved. Lots and lots of art and items from the Antebellum era to the early 1900's. Great house and gardens. Good visit.
Visited the Goodwood Museum and Gardens while I was in Tallahassee. Took the tour and loved it. The gentleman who was the tour guide was fantastic... best tour guide I've ever had for a tour like this. I believe he is a member of the restoration committee and had done a great deal of research on the home and its previous owners. Incredibly interesting.
We went to a play there in the afternoon. The old old live oak trees are beautiful. The gardens are great. There are small interesting buildings and the big house. It's an old plantation house but of course, the slave quarters were not near the house.

Florida State Capitol is a building of historical importance and is architecturally placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The architects who built the New Capitol were given the Old Capitol's starting assumption, which had to remain in use until the New Capitol was completed, would be removed. It stands as an icon in the heart of Florida's Capitol complex and the modern-day nerve center of political history, the stained-glass dome governed by the Sunshine State and tradition come alive. The museum offers a trip through the colorful history of representative government in Florida. Florida State Capitol is an excellent place for photographs, audiovisual displays, and recordings.

FLORIDA STATE CAPITOL REVIEWS
Great place to visit! Although it is called old, it never gets old. Since legislators get together at this location, it is popular for protests and rallies. Go see the historic museum if you have not done so already. Well worth your time! You can take some good photos also while at it.
Beautiful capital building and State grounds. I am a little disappointed that it's not better lit at night. Because the dome could be really outstanding with a little more lighting. But it's truly a building that Floridians can be proud of.
I liked both old and new capitol building. You can learn a lot of history in the old capitol and in the new one if you go up to the 22nd floor you can see the whole view of the city. Everything is free so why not
