Located on South Monroe Street, the Florida Historic Capitol Museum emphasizes political artifacts, interactive exhibits, and photographs. The museum is housed in the iconic 1845 Historic Capital Building that was restored to its 1902 appearance between 1978 and 1982. When the new capitol was built, the Historic Capitol was slated for destruction but the citizens worked together to save it.
Restored parts of the building include the Governor’s office, The House of Representative, and the Supreme Court. Visitors of the museum learn about the events and individuals who helped to shape Florida. In addition to exhibits, there are audiovisual displays, interactive multimedia, and recordings. There are more than 250 artifacts housed in the 21 rooms of the museum.
