In its present location since 1845, Florida's historic Old Capitol was
expanded several times, although it retains the original floor plan in
the center of the building. In 1978, the last state employees vacated
the stately, time-worn structure, which, after selective demolition,
was restored to its 1902 appearance and opened as a museum in 1982.
Today, The Old Capitol's special exhibits interpret the state's
political history, constitutions, and the history of the building.
Artifacts and reproductions are displayed in the Governor's Suite and
in the Senate, House, and Supreme Court chambers.
Be sure to stop by The Union
Bank just 1 block east and The
Museum of Florida History just 3 blocks west.
