If you are intrigued by a former owner who wrote poetry about her furniture, this is the place for you! Even though this place is run by the state, volunteers keep it interesting with ever-changing events. Each year, Tallahasseans gather here on May 20 for a giant picnic and re-creation of the day Union Gen. McCook read the document to... More

We've marveled repeatedly at what wonderful places are available to the public in Florida at no cost, and offer so much. The Knott home is another example. It faces Park Ave., aptly named for the blocks of live oaks dripping with Spanish moss that provide acres of shade in the heart of this lovely city. The home is completely furnished... More

The house has been restored to its past glory. It is called the house that rhymes because a past owner wrote poems and tagged them to the furniture. Interesting house tour that takes less than an hour.

A nicely preserved historic home with original furnishings. A knowledgeable FSU student led the tour which included the reading of the rhymes. Don't expect Longfellow, but they do make you think (if not chuckle).

When we arrived the door was locked and a sign was posted that tours were given on the hour and a guided tour was necessary to see the house. We went back for the next hourly tour, rang the bell, and were warmly welcomed and invited in to first view an interesting video and observe a timeline and pictures on... More

My sister and I came to Tallahassee to check out the historical sites. This was one of my favorite. The tourguide was very knowledgeable about the house and the era as well. We could tell that she really loves this house and obviously her job. I wish every tour was like this was. Thanks very much!! I encourage others to... More

If you love turn-of the-century styles, homes, art, etc., you will enjoy the Knott House Museum!! Everything in the home is just as the Knott family left it. A rare glimpes into the lives of some very interesting people. Especially the wife and mother, Luella. Not too often do you read poetry to someones furniture!! You willnot be disappointed, especially... More
