“The Grove is one of the places that help us to understand why Florida is important in the celebration of 250 years of American history,” Grandage said.
There were free, interactive learning opportunities for kids and adults. People attending also got a tour of the museum.
Grandage said Grove Day is always at the beginning of March in honor of the museum’s opening, which is also near Florida Governor Thomas Collins’ birthday.
“From all the way before the Civil War and up to the time of Governor Collins, who was involved in the era of civil rights, our historic sites here, especially in Tallahassee, have so many stories to tell,” Grandage said.
He said Grove Day also gives people a chance to see the springtime bloom on the museum grounds.
