The Grove Museum, Tallahassee

Love visiting this place. It was the home of former Florida Governor Leroy Collins. It’s so interesting to see how different cultural shifts (emancipation, desegregation) affected the house’s history. If you enjoy history and culture, this place is such a great! And the tour guides are incredibly knowledgeable

A cool place to connect to local history, enjoy some trees and air conditioning, and see some stuff you might not learn about in a history class. A friend and I were visiting town and walked past the sign by the road, curious about the place. We were surprised and impressed, staff are so friendly and knowledgeable and the whole museum and grounds were quiet and clean. The QR codes outside that pull up more info about the place are useful- not too much to read but enough to be informative. The basement portion is interesting and important- don’t skip out on that while you’re here. Patricia gave us a tour and was awesome! Since we were walking around town, she even gave us hand written directions to other places we were interested in and food recommendations. Really went above and beyond and it was so appreciated! You can tell a lot of work and passion went into restoring and interpreting the building, its history, who lived there, and who built it. Makes you wonder about all the other old places around and what happens when we forget about them.
