Mission San Luis de Apalachee

This reconstructed seventeenth-century Spanish mission on a wooded hilltop in Tallahassee recreates a settlement where Franciscan friars and the Indigenous Apalachee people lived together from 1656 to 1704. Based on decades of archaeology, the living-history site features a rebuilt council house, one of the largest historic Native structures in the Southeast, along with a church, friary, and Spanish house. Costumed interpreters demonstrate colonial and Apalachee daily life, crafts, and trade.
