It was such a blast hosting students, teachers, and parents this year at the Florida History Day Open House. The Museums in the capitol complex had over 600 visitors from across the state, and some were clever enough to become trivia champions at the Union Bank Museum! Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's History Day, and best of luck at nationals!

Take a look at some of these images of the Springtime Tallahassee parade from right outside the Union Bank Museum last Saturday.
The Springtime Tallahassee festival came about in 1967, when Southern and Central Florida Legislators suggested moving the capitol to Orlando. Local business and civic leaders met behind closed doors to map their strategy to keep the state’s capital in Tallahassee, and their plan, a massive festival in the spring when Tallahassee was most beautiful, came to fruition.
Today, Springtime Tallahassee is a civic organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Tallahassee’s history. With the passing of each year, the festival has grown a little bigger and better through the dedication of its community-minded members.
