Tallahassee - Knott House Museum

Knott House Museum is an 1843 Classic Revival house with Victorian furnishings and exhibits on local history. During the Civil War, both Confederate and Union troops occupied the house. On May 20, 1865, General Edward McCook read the emancipation proclamation from its steps.

Former state treasurer William Knott lived here with his family from 1928 to 1985. It is known as the "house that rhymes" because Knott's wife used to write poems and attach them to the house's furniture.
