Get ready to step back in time as Tallahassee proudly unveils a replica of the First Florida Capitol – a log cabin that served as Florida's first legislative home after the city was designated as the state’s capital in 1824. Constructed by over a hundred volunteers, the replica was built in honor of Tallahassee's bicentennial. The community is invited to celebrate its completion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, Oct. 4, at 10 a.m. at Cascades Park.
This project continues a proud tradition. A cabin was first built for the 1924 centennial by the Boy Scouts and again in 1974 for the sesquicentennial by Sheriff Raymond Hamlin Jr., the Historic Tallahassee Preservation Board and the Tallahassee Lions Club.
Be sure to save the date for Sunday, Nov. 10, at Cascades Park, to experience a full day of celebration and history at the Tallahassee Bicentennial Festival. Exciting activities are planned, including a dedication of the 2024 First Florida Capitol replica. Join us in celebrating our past, present and future as we honor 200 years of Tallahassee’s remarkable journey.
