Two hundred years ago, on March 4, 1824, Governor William Duval announced Tallahassee as the site for Florida’s new capital city. Local lore attributes the decision to two commissioners sent on a legendary journey, however, Tallahassee’s tale begins much earlier. On display from March 1, 2024 through January 5, 2025, the exhibition and related programming complement the City of Tallahassee and Leon County bicentennial commemorations.
