The first Capitol building in Florida, located in Tallahassee, was completed in 1845. After a new Capitol building was constructed in 1977, the original building was repurposed. The old Capitol became a historic site and was preserved as a museum. Today, it serves as the Florida Historic Capitol Museum, where visitors can learn about the history of Florida's government and view exhibits related to the state's political past. The museum helps to honor and maintain the legacy of Florida's early governance while demonstrating the architectural history of the Capitol buildings.
