Bellevue Plantation
Bellevue, relocated and restored at the Museum, was the Tallahassee home of Catherine Murat, George Washington’s great-grandniece. She became a French princess by marriage to Napoleon’s nephew, Achille Murat.
Murat owned the house from 1854 until her death in 1867. The accompanying exhibit explores the area’s plantation communities, free and slave, and includes two reconstructed buildings--the plantation kitchen and a slave cabin.
Bellevue is on the National Register of Historic Places.
