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.

Race, Class, and Culture: Woke (or not) in the Progressive Era of Leon County

Wednesday, September 27 / 6 PM

Fanny Tiers was one of a dozen or so northerners (and the only woman) who purchased Leon County’s former cotton plantations as winter residences. 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. This presentation is the first of a 2-part program; the second part, “A Picture is Worth…(Black and White Photographs from Leon County 1890-1930)”, will be held in the Goodwood Carriage House on October 17 at 6 PM.

Joanna Francis Living Well Support Group

First Mondays of each Month
6:00 – 7:00 PM
