Tallahassee’s History Department is dedicated to uncovering and sharing the stories that shape our community. Through innovative tools like GIS mapping and collaborative research, we explore everything from the legacy of the city’s first Black landowners to the evolution of neighborhoods, cemeteries, and plantations. Our work brings history into public spaces—whether through interactive maps or community trails—making it accessible, engaging, and deeply relevant.
This section features recent news and projects that highlight our commitment to connecting the past with the present. From digital storytelling to on-the-ground preservation, we believe history is best understood when it’s placed in the hands of the people.
