Built in 1843, this historical home is the former residence of state official William Knott and his wife, Luella.  In 1865 the home served as temporary Union Headquarters and it is where the Emancipation Proclamation was read in Florida, on May 20, 1865, a full month before June 19, 1865 when the remainder of the nation recognized that all enslaved persons were emancipated. Restored to its 1928 grandeur, the home is now a museum.

Step aboard the River Boat Tour at Wakulla Springs State Park for a guided journey through Florida’s ancient waterways. The boat glides over one of the world’s largest and deepest freshwater springs, which pushes out hundreds of millions of gallons of water daily.

Famous for its role as a backdrop for early Hollywood cinema, this river remains a preserved sanctuary just a short drive from Tallahassee. The tour moves at a rhythmic pace, allowing plenty of time to photograph manatees, wildlife, and the massive cypress canopy that defines the natural landscape.

📍 Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park
🕒 Frequency: Tours depart 365 days a year weather permitting
🚢 Accessibility: ADA-compliant boats are available by request
