The cabin is just part of the celebrations this year.

Within days of the start of 2024.

Bicentennial Day was held on the grounds of the current capital.

Governor William Duvall here.

I'm here to show you the proclamation that 200 years ago made Tallahassee the capital of Florida Territory.

It's been a wonderful day, but the Senate in the House hosted us in chambers.

And under this proclamation, to be able to have this amazing ceremony in the courtyard today and see everybody come out and celebrate Tallahassee downtown.

I was a member of the Sesquicentennial committee in 1974 I see the enthusiasm now roaring escalate.

The people are getting involved.

The one word that I write is history.

And I believe the history of this occasion will go down for many, many years.

This is a fantastic thing.

Yes, again.

My mother.

The celebrations continued in front of City Hall on March 4th, the official day that Tallahassee was named the capital for the 200 year bicentennial celebration is a time to reflect on the capital city's founding at a pivotal times in history.

It is a time to share stories of past struggles and triumphs.

Look at the present with pride and inspiration, and to the future with anticipation for new progressive things to come.

I think working together, if this is what we should be about, that's the only way we're going to make real, significant progress.

So when our children come along with the tricentennial, they will see that we've kind them even much farther along.

It doesn't happen every year.

It doesn't happen.

And to be here to see the people gather and the diversity and the diversity that's happening in this city and the way it's growing.

And you know, that notwithstanding some issues, we're going to always have.

I had issues, but we we are together.

We are doing wonderful things.

We are progressing.

And that's what it's all about.

And City of Tallahassee is just a wonderful place to live.
