Here's a good place to eat and to see beautiful scenery. The plantation building and the grounds are spectacular. It's like going back in time. It's really close to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in case you're in the area. More

I was traveling with three of my children - 11 year old son and twin 16 year old girls. We researched historical buildings in Talahassee and came across Goodwood. Arrived as they opened and were given the tour - it was fantastic. To be able to adress the curiosity and interests of our diverse family is a difficult thing to... More

Most impressive collection of original furnishings in a historical home I have ever seen and I have seen many-- canopy beds, fine crystal, silver, china, etc. Mature gardens specializing in camellias, azaleas, and native plants. A gourmet lunch cafe. Family connected with early Tallahassee politics and social events. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable docents. More

I scheduled a tour of Museum and Gardens and it was a great experience. Tour guides were very knowledgeable. Lunch in Fanny's was very tasty (what a sweet little restaurant), we had to wait a little but was worth it. I will go there again when weather will be nice, sit outside and eat chicken salad sandwich. Wioleta @Global Gate... More

My husband and I just visited Tallahassee. We stopped at the Goodwood Museum and Gardens. We were wanting to take a tour of the home on site, but was told the docent called in sick and no tours were being offered. We were asked if we could come back the next day but we could not. Needless to say, we... More

My wife and I have visited a number of historic homes and Goodwood is one of the better examples. Keeping in mind houses of this era were much more formal than what we live in today. If the walls cold talk, I am sure Florida's history books could learn something. I can just imagine a party during the legislative session... More
