History & Heritage

Tallahassee through time weaves a fascinating tapestry of politics and cultures, agriculture and innovation, higher education and religion, and liberty and justice, with a southern accent and international flavors. You don’t have to be a history buff to experience and appreciate the depth and diversity of Tallahassee’s history and heritage. Florida’s Capital City plays a big role in the story of Florida’s History, and in American history, and we are still making history today.

Today Florida’s Capital City boasts diverse cultural heritage and is flourishing with many rhythms and flavors. Museums, festivals, cuisine, arts and crafts, and year-round events honor and celebrate Asian, Greek, Hispanic, and Celtic heritage in the Tallahassee area.
