Tallahassee was established nearly 200 years ago in 1824. The United States had just acquired Florida from the Spanish, and most of the new territory’s white population was concentrated in Pensacola and St. Augustine. So why did the earliest territorial legislators choose to build a completely new capital in what was then such a remote area? How was the exact location selected? Furthermore, it’s one thing to build a group of government buildings, but how did Tallahassee grow beyond its official capacity into a thriving community? In this course, State Archives of Florida historian Dr. Josh Goodman will explore the earliest deliberations about where Florida’s capital ought to be, as well as the early history of Tallahassee’s development as a community. The program will incorporate a variety of maps, images, and other historical records from the State Archives of Florida.

Guyte McCord Park is truly one of Tallahassee’s most precious hidden gems that is home to a collection of beautiful bronze sculptures created by native Tallahassee world-class artist W. Stanley “Sandy” Proctor. The park is also a treasure trove of edible plants such as wild onions and wood sorrel. Join local forager Greg Haberfeld for a walk in the park to seek out, identify, and sample some of these common edible plants that are all around us. Limited space available.
