We went into the City of Tallahassee and toured both the old Capitol building and the new Capitol building. The new Capitol building was erected in the 80’s and sits directly behind the older building dwarfing it in size. The newer building has little to no architectural interest with its straight lines and gray concrete walls.

Dolphin sculptures outside.
Inside the old Capitol there were several displays and a room set up specifically for memorabilia from each campaign.
COOL POLITICAL DISPLAY
Later we walked to the Knott House and toured a home that was built before Florida became a state.
The John Gilmore Riley House is the only home designated as an historic site that was owned and occupied by a black school teacher. Mr. Gilmore was born into slavery but later became an educator in North Florida.
