Love the Grove!! It's a beautiful hidden gem on Monroe street. The staff members who work there are so knowledgeable of the house and the land. The tours are also quite detailed and pays tribute to all aspects of the people who've lived and worked in the home. I love how they always showcase the history of the house and land with various activities for the whole family throughout the year such as their monthly Backyard Discovery program and Nature Walks. I will definitely be coming back again and again.
Absolutely stunning, another jewel of Florida history. The garden features tons of Magnolia Trees and lots of beautiful flowers. A must see if visiting Tallahassee. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I love that they've included a kids reading time as well. Enjoy my photos!!!
Wanted to visited another museum to learn more about Tallahassee history, I learn more about about Leroy Colin.Wait timeNo wait
Today was ideal for the Nature Walk at the Grove! I had previously taken the house tour,but the behind the scenes tour of the property was very interesting.Our tour guide Jon ,was fabulously knowlegable.Recommended!
Outstanding, beautiful surroundings and excellent quality information about one of the most important families in Florida history. It also provides history of multiple families and important events that happened there. Find out who was in the March on Selma because it was important for rights.Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minPrice for adult entry$1–5
Absolutely beautiful place with AMAZING employees!!!! I recommend going and spending a few hour here!
Beautiful home and grounds with great interpretive materials describing both high-class Tallahassee of yore, and our history from slavery to Civil Rights.
