Celebrate with our sister museum, Union Bank Museum, as they commemorate their 42nd anniversary this Friday with a free educational program. Refreshments included!

Please join us as we celebrate the 42nd anniversary of the Union Bank Museum. Guests will learn a surprising connection between the Bank, British made ceramics, and the marketing of American ideals of independence and liberty. Following the American Revolution and the War of 1812, British potters capitalized on the expanding American market by printing specific landscapes and patriotic imagery onto ceramics — including Revolutionary War figures, national moments, and civic icons. From 1821, British transferware flooded Florida’s market as people moved to the new territory. As cotton was exported directly to British textile mills, shipments of British manufactured goods, including ceramics returned.

October 4 is National Golf Lover’s Day!

To celebrate, let’s look at the role played by The Grove in Tallahassee’s golf history. ⛳️🏌️‍♀️

In 1908, the first Tallahassee Country Club organized at The Grove, which had several golf holes laid out on the grounds to the north of the main house. The house became the Tallahassee County Club’s first clubhouse before moving its present-day location near Myers Park, east of the Florida State Capitol.

One of the club’s organizers was owner of The Grove through the first decades of the twentieth century, Reinette Long Hunt. She managed the site as a modern woman who hosted art classes, literary salons, social gatherings, rentals, and later opened The Grove Hotel in the 1920s.
