The Grove Museum - Museum in Tallahassee - 902 N Monroe St, USA

Absolute must if you're in Tallahassee! Very interesting and rich history of a true American. The museum chronicles the life and legacy of Mr. John Gilmore Riley and some history of the time. The guides are very knowledgeable and patient, and the tour goes at your pace. So you can spend as little or as much time as you'd like. Photography is allowed and encouraged, and the guides answer all your questions to the best of their abilities. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would recommend this museum to anyone!

Visited while in Tallahassee for my daughter's orientation at FAMU. Excellent tour and even better tour guide at The Grove!! 10/10 would recommend!!

Beautiful home on scenic grounds — great for a walk and sit. The museum itself is free and very digestible. A thorough visit can easily be accomplished in 20-30 minutes. The museum is especially fascinating for locals or those who know Tallahassee well; it puts many faces to names and provides interesting (and sometimes disturbing) historical context to the land and city. For out-of-towners a visit could serve as merely an interesting and pretty visit to a historic antebellum home. I highly recommend strolling the grounds after. They have a dog path too! Great for a quick, free, local afternoon trip.

Absolutely stunning, another jewel 💎 of Florida history. The garden features tons of Magnolia Trees and lots of beautiful flowers. A must see if visiting Tallahassee. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I love that they've included a kids reading time as well. Enjoy my photos!!!

When you're done touring the fascinating Museum inside, take the time to visit the Beautiful Trees throughout the premises. Well kept and impeccably clean properly. The volunteers were all genuinely friendly and joyful. Highly recommended.

The tour was very informative and presented well although it was difficult understanding our first guide who wore a mask. The home and it's history was interesting, we enjoyed the presentation that followed in the lower area. Thank you for preservation and wish this home continued success. We will be back when cooler weather arrives to visit the garden area as well. This is a free museum (donations welcomed). Well worth looking into for many special events throughout the year.

Love the Grove!! It's a beautiful hidden gem on Monroe street. The staff members who work there are so knowledgeable of the house and the land. The tours are also quite detailed and pays tribute to all aspects of the people who've lived and worked in the home. I love how they always showcase the history of the house and land with various activities for the whole family throughout the year such as their monthly Backyard Discovery program and Nature Walks. I will definitely be coming back again and again.

This museum is a hidden gem of important Florida history! The grounds are beautiful and the staff are incredibly friendly.
