Tallahassee - Goodwood Museum & Gardens

Goodwood Museum & Gardens is an 1840's plantation house with 13 outbuildings. The Croom family of North Carolina first owned Goodwood and the property exchanged hands several times throughout its history. The present gardens do not have any plants introduced later than 1929 and have become a resource for heirloom plants and old garden roses. One of the more prominent owners was Senator William Hodges who bought the house in 1925 and enjoyed it as a social center. Period furniture and frescoed ceilings fill the Goodwood Museum. In the late 1990's the house underwent an extensive restoration.
