Tallahassee bicentennial

The park will parallel West Jefferson Street between Adams and Duval streets beside Tallahassee City Hall.

Dozens of local and out-of-town historical organizations had a presence at the festival.

The replica structure was constructed during the 2024 Bicentennial Year at the west end of Cascades Park.

Organizers say the idea is to provide a totally immersive and historically authentic experience.

The event coincided with the 200th anniversary of the first Tallahassee meeting of the territorial legislature.

The structure will occupy a space between two of the museum's historic buildings.

Dozens of local and state government officials, project volunteers and others connected with the Bicentennial Celebration attended the ceremony.

The church dates its origin back to 1825.

A replica of Florida’s first capitol building, a log cabin, is under construction at Cascades Parks. Organizers are asking the public to help.

Among those on hand for the occasion was a direct descendent of the man in charge of the first capitol's construction.
