Florida Agriculture & Mechanical University, one of the nation's largest historically Black universities is found on the highest of Tallahassee's seven hills. Established in 1887, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) was founded as the State Normal College for Colored Students. Today, as one of 103 historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the nation FAMU remains the only HBCU in Florida's 12-member state university system. FAMU offers 97-degree programs and has an enrollment of more than 10,000 students. At the center of campus the Eternal Flame has burned brightly as a symbol of Rattler excellence since Time magazine's selection of FAMU as the 1997-1998 College of the Year. The newest monument to grace the campus of the university is an 8-foot high coiled rattler sculpture by the artist Brad Cooley, Jr., having made its debut Nov. 2020 on Wahnish Way in front of the new student services building. These locations are a must-see on any visit to FAMU.

Autumn looks good on Tallahassee 🌅🍂
This time of year shows off in the best way with rich reds, honey-gold leaves, and tree lines that glow as the sun slips away.

Send this to someone who needs a peaceful day outside.
Paddle the Wacissa River and see why it’s a local favorite! The calm current and wide channels make it ideal for beginners, families, or anyone who just needs a slow day on the water. Bring a picnic and let the river set the pace for the afternoon.

Keep an eye out for turtles, birds, and other wildlife along the way! 🐢

What a night. The Empress of Soul and seven time Grammy winner Gladys Knight took the Adderley stage and gave a performance that felt timeless. A night Tallahassee won’t forget. Thank you everyone who came out to the incredible performance!

Fall finds its charm here. 🍂 Maclay Gardens is glowing with seasonal décor and soft bursts of autumn color across the grounds. Be sure to catch the one-of-a kind scarecrows on display!
