10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Tallahassee That You Shouldn't Miss

October 25, 2021 Jasper Kershner

With its rolling hills and canopied roads of moss-draped oaks, Tallahassee defies the stereotypes most people hold about Florida. The Capital City shares a deep-rooted history and culture with ample doses of fun and authenticity. A fusion of cosmopolitan flair and Southern charm defines the city. Situated on Florida’s I-10 corridor in the Panhandle, Tallahassee is a place where college town meets history, politics meets culture and natural adventures abound.

Bradfordville Blues Club

The Bradfordville Blues Club experience is like no other. It combines a truly unique location and atmosphere with the best the Blues has to offer. Hidden in a rural part of Tallahassee, the experience begins when you travel down the winding dirt roads and up the hill that lead to the Club. Surrounded by fields of tall stalks of corn and old majestic oak trees dripping with moss, the one room cinder block “juke joint” has hosted an impressive list of nationally renowned Blues acts. The more than 50 original portraits autographed by the “Kings and Queens” of the Blues, which serve as table tops and wall hangings, attest to the quality of our entertainment. The Club is open on Friday and Saturday nights and offers a good selection of ice-cold bottled beers and wine. Just follow the tiki torches down the dirt roads till you reach the juke joint under the stars. We’ll keep the bonfire burning, the beer ice-cold and the music hot!

This was like living a dream night from the 30’s: fantastic energy, great positive vibe and amazing music in a juke joint setting with the small tables in front of the stage. The memorabilia is worth the admission alone. Saw Albert Castiglia there and had an awesome time. Truly could have used an additional wait staff, had to wait a long time for drinks, so we just started going to the bar ourselves and that was fine. Def coming back as much as we can.

Museum of Florida History

Learn of Florida's rich history here.

Reviewed By Tgogators

These other comment are not lying! I've been here dozens of times since my grade school years (the mid-90s) and some parts of it (the walkthrough river boat, grandma's attic, souther farm life displays) are exactly the same and have been perfectly kept up. It's nice that is has a few revolving exhibits to add to the diversity of Florida history (which is rather vast). One of the few places in the state you can see authentic dinosaur bones! The tone of the self-guided museum starts in prehistoric times, to Spanish (later British) occupation, Civil War, onto the World Wards, and parts that reflect general Florida life. Definitely something of interest for the whole family!

Tallahassee Antique Car Museum

The mirrored walls of the Tallahassee Automobile Museum enclose more than just automobiles! This 100,000 sf. facility houses cars, trucks and memorabilia of all kinds. In addition to the antique cars, muscle cars, concept cars, and trucks -- check out the eclectic collection of Steinway pianos, Remington sculptures, Case knives, Barbie dolls, boats, boat motors, children's pedal cars, and die-cast toys. Journey through history with Native American artifacts, firearms, antique cash registers, pocket watches, salt-cellars, baby bottles, silver spoons, baseball cards, antique golf balls and clubs, 100-year-old brass-bladed fans, art objects from Thailand, neon signs, stained glass, a horse from a carousel, a children's barber chair shaped like an airplane and much, much more. Part shrine, part history lesson, part pack-rat's paradise, part garage and part art gallery -- except, in this case, the art has four spotless wheels and can go from 0 to 60 faster than a Cezanne can. It's truly an amazing museum of American history.

As the person who researched the Tallahassee KKK Lucky 13 from an auction lot at Affiliated Auctions in 2009, DeVoe Moore won the lot of original KKK documents from 1949 - 1955, with names, secret numbers, minutes of the meetings, and more. I am so pleased he did. Every so often I post the information on Facebook. The most revealing item is the elected Sheriff Raymond R. Hamlin, Jr. as well as his father, were members of the Klan for at least one year. This was before he was initially elected Sheriff of Leon County in 1968. 1968 was a tumultuous year and the years surrounding 1968. The Automobile Museum is excellent. Many early automobiles, two of the original Batmobiles, classic cars from 1950's, onward and so many other things he has collected. Two days is recommended.

Florida Historic Capitol Museum

The Florida Historic Capitol Museum serves to illuminate the past, present, and future connection between the people of Florida and their political institutions through programs of civic education, historic interpretation, and preservation.

Reviewed By rolandd804

Had some time to kill and stopped by the capitol. The museum is free and is self guided. There are rooms dedicated to aspects of Florida's political history, and you can see the old Senate and Delegate chambers. I would suggest taking 1 hour to do it justice.
