Just a beautiful example of PRE statehood architecture of a home build by a free black carpenter as a wedding gift for a white owner. Florida was awarded statehood after this house was built and the Knott family kept the original furnishings and wall paper in the main hall only when they gave the entire house to the government. Picture a home as a time capsule from 1928 to 1941! The outdoor kitchen and bath from the original 1843 home has been moved inside then left alone. Mrs. Knott did a great job decorating the house and even wrote poetry for many pieces of furniture. She was very active in prohibition and sufferage.Mr. Knott was in the government accounting. FREE admission but bring a good donation. It is worth the 2 plus hour guided tour.
Lovely spot, though it is small the poetry is cute. The guides are knowledgeable and good with groups.
We LOVED this place! Our visit here was the best part of our trip to Tally. It's free, but definitely leave a donation!
Wonderful place to learn about American history.
Went with my six year old to see the Xmas decorations, but she got antsy in the first room. Was assured there were other more kid friendly times to come, but I left the adults to a more mature tour and took her to the chain of parks outside instead : Enjoyed what I saw...and we got to ride the elevator lol
Awesome place to visit. Great little movie too start you off and know about the time period and family. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Best was it was free!!! Donations are appreciated.
Loved this place. We were killing time and stopped in. We went on the tour and had the best time. This is a great stop in Tallahassee ! Not crowded. Interesting. Knowledgeable tour guide. We just had a great time.
Great place to vitist on your time off. The tour guid told me it may be haunted if that's what you're into. I love ghost stories.
Love this place! Full of history and stories. Beautiful historic home. Love Valentine's day with the harp playing and the poetry readings. Swing dancing in the streets is fun too!
Is a very nice house to visit but is not toddlers friendly due to items and exhibitions close to reach we have toddler in stroller during guided tour great for older children and adults.
