Tallahassee/Leon County Tourist Dev. Council
Nearer to Atlanta than Miami, Tallahassee County is "The Other Florida" in
attitude, topography, climate and lifestyle. Tallahassee hosts the new
and old state capitol buildings, with tours of both. Nearby visitors can
see America's largest concentration of plantations--300,000 acres, 71
plantations-- between Tallahassee and Thomasville, Georgia, just 28
miles away. Contact the Tallahassee Area Convention & Visitors Bureau
800-628-2866 to receive a complimentary copy of the Southern Manors &
More self-guided plantation tour brochure.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find sink holes, plenty of fishing and outdoor
recreation opportunities; and Wakulla Springs State Park, one of the
world's deepest freshwater springs featuring river boat tours where
you'll probably spot a gator or two. Impressive museums and
archaeological sites are prominent attractions. Make sure to sample the
famous Apalachicola Bay Oysters and local Blue Crab in the region's
restaurants, and taste the home made sausage at Bradley's 1927 Country
Store.
