The Tallahassee Museum is a privately funded, non-profit corporation in Tallahassee, Florida. The stated purpose of the Museum is "to educate the residents of and visitors to the Big Bend area about the region's natural and cultural history, from the 19th century until the present." A considerable portion of the grounds is devoted to the re-creation of rural life in north Florida in about 1880. Included in that effort are homes, gardens, farm buildings (with appropriate farm animals), a gristmill, and a turpentine commissary. Another major portion of the museum is devoted to Florida wildlife, with many animals in relatively large, well-vegetated areas, usually similar to native habitats.

Deep has our favorite selection of local brews. They are a little pricey, but this is a mature crowd and you can generally eat from the food tuck vendor that sets up many weekends.

Easily overlooked by passer-byes (small and doesn't look fancy). If you are a foodie and like a small, quiet restaurant that serves a unique menu, you must try this place! Like truffle oil? You will love the Truffle Mac-N-Cheese! My dad is a native to Tally and this is in his top 2 restaurants. They have an outstanding wine selection. You can buy by the bottle from the small store in the entry and the cork fee is only 8 bucks. Plan to spend a long time here. They aren't fast or cheap, but they are SOOO worth it. You probably won't find this type of experience many places in the country.

I've only been twice and they cater to the carnivore. It is all the rage on the Northside. People rave about their cocktails. This is upscale, so dress appropriately and expect to pay premium prices.
