What’s Happening at Goodwood
Preservation Wine Walk
Friday, November 10 | 45:30 – 7:00 PM
Sip and stroll through Goodwood Museum & Garden’s beautiful grounds.
Enjoy a wide variety of wines that pair deliciously with the legacy of preservation at Goodwood. At each stop in the wine walk, attendees will be able to sample a new wine while listening to Goodwood docents share details and history about the different buildings, locations, and preservation projects on the museum’s 21-acres. Immerse yourself in the tapestry of preservation as you meander Goodwood’s grounds, glass in hand. This is a rare opportunity to experience local history in a fun, unique way, and is perfect for history lovers who savor a good wine (or wine lovers who want to expand their historical knowledge). Light hors d’oeuvres will be available. Must be 21+ to attend.

This roundtable discussion will discuss how these northern, urban elites confronted the South’s inflexible racial system in rural, including: Dr. Larry Rivers, Distinguished Professor of History (FAMU); Dr. Maxine Jones, Director of Women’s Studies and Professor of History (FSU); Dr. Lee Warner, Former Director of the Florida Museum of History; Sabrina Shade, staff of the Florida Commissioner of Education’s African-American History Task Force; and Goodwood Executive Director Jennifer Lundal Humayun. The roundtable discussion will be held at the Tallahassee Bethel Life Family Center.
