At the Tallahassee Museum, this 19th century farmhouse provides a glimpse into Florida’s past. That’s Bruce, sitting on the porch of the kitchen which is in a separate building from the sleeping and living quarters.
I remember when the museum was in a former home across from the Bloxham Building (Caroline Brevard Elementary School at the time). Many changes and lots of growth for this wonderful place to learn and explore.
My three-year-old did the ropes course for the first time on Friday. She would love to go again!

I had my 5th birthday at the Jr. museum! It was reptile themed.
My husband’s grandfather that passed away a few years ago, Archie Taylor, is one of the voices on the train at the museum. That is our favorite exhibit!
Our first Haloween Howl when our daughters were younger. So much fun and so many memories!
There have been many great memories. My daughter had her 3rd birthday party there and has attended many camps and made friends along the way. We are so thankful to have such a great place to take our children.
This gift was made as a small payback for the environmental and historical educational opportunities that our family has experienced over the years. The Museum is a major part of the fiber that binds the Tallahassee community and contributes to...

Still the highlight of my visit to Tally. Make it a point to go down memory lane.
The director, Mrs. Grissett, from years ago is a special family friend. She always showed me things around the Museum that no one else saw.
We visited today. It was a wonderful day and the Museum has been making improvements. We love all the Jim Gary dinosaurs.
The Museum always put me in a happy state of mind. Nature, Animals and a caboose.
I was there for girl scouts one summer. Awesome place. My dad had a membership and we went almost every weekend.
I remember doing the square dance in 5th grade. I also remember riding the horse around the ring that grinded sugar cane.
We have been members for over 30 years. My children loved the Tallahassee Museum and now my grandkids do too.
In 1967, the 5th grade class of Kate Sullivan demonstrated the Square Dance upon a platform erected before the farmhouse. We had free rein on the red caboose, which we treated like a Jungle-Jim. Pickles from the barrel were two-for-a-quarter...

At the Tallahassee Museum, this 19th century farmhouse provides a glimpse into Florida’s past. That’s Bruce, sitting on the porch of the kitchen which is in a separate building from the sleeping and living quarters.
I remember when the museum was in a former home across from the Bloxham Building (Caroline Brevard Elementary School at the time). Many changes and lots of growth for this wonderful place to learn and explore.
My three-year-old did the ropes course for the first time on Friday. She would love to go again!
As upper-level elementary school students, we were given the task of fundraising for the Tallahassee Junior Museum. Unlike today’s students, we weren’t given a catalog of gifts or wrapping paper to sell so with a cleaned out glass jar I...

When I was younger I went camping at the Jr. Museum and now I am able to take my daughter to enjoy the museum.

I have been coming to the Junior Museum since I was a small child. My grandfather used to take me. I’d play in the train for hours. I also went to school there. I am 54, living in Monticello. Don’t...
My friends and I went to zip lining together for the first time about seven months ago. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was one of the most exhilarating things I had ever done. It’s still to this...
First time I went to the museum was during Haloscream back in 2008. A couple friends and I dressed as zombies to rove around the maze ya’ll had set up. Well, we got there late, but we’re told we could...

My boys practically live there! They especially enjoy getting the does to bleet and the turkeys to gobble!
One of my favorite things over 30 years ago was going to the country store and picking out a candy cane after walking the trails. I still enjoy the tradition with my kids! Also, the otters kiss this past Valentines...
I had my 5th birthday at the Jr. museum! It was reptile themed.
My husband’s grandfather that passed away a few years ago, Archie Taylor, is one of the voices on the train at the museum. That is our favorite exhibit!
Our first Haloween Howl when our daughters were younger. So much fun and so many memories!
There have been many great memories. My daughter had her 3rd birthday party there and has attended many camps and made friends along the way. We are so thankful to have such a great place to take our children.
This gift was made as a small payback for the environmental and historical educational opportunities that our family has experienced over the years. The Museum is a major part of the fiber that binds the Tallahassee community and contributes to...
As a kid I loved playing all over the caboose and even used it for photo assignments in college. I left Tallahassee and worked in the photo industry in Dallas and NYC for 2 decades after that. I learned to...

My favorite memory is watching my fearless daughter trying out the zip line course without even thinking about it. She’s awesome!
When I was a little kid (let’s not discuss how long ago), my parents say I would beg them to go to the Museum to see the duck with the bonnet. It’s said that I was content to at least...
Still the highlight of my visit to Tally. Make it a point to go down memory lane.
The director, Mrs. Grissett, from years ago is a special family friend. She always showed me things around the Museum that no one else saw.
We visited today. It was a wonderful day and the Museum has been making improvements. We love all the Jim Gary dinosaurs.
The Museum always put me in a happy state of mind. Nature, Animals and a caboose.
I was there for girl scouts one summer. Awesome place. My dad had a membership and we went almost every weekend.
I remember doing the square dance in 5th grade. I also remember riding the horse around the ring that grinded sugar cane.
We have been members for over 30 years. My children loved the Tallahassee Museum and now my grandkids do too.
In 1967, the 5th grade class of Kate Sullivan demonstrated the Square Dance upon a platform erected before the farmhouse. We had free rein on the red caboose, which we treated like a Jungle-Jim. Pickles from the barrel were two-for-a-quarter...
My first trips to the Tallahassee Museum were downtown. I watched the new one grow. I remember doing bird watching in the mid 60’s at the new Museum. Once when my kids were young, we went to pioneer days and...
