Geocache Description:

What you are looking for is just hanging around on the right-of-way outside the fence at the Tallahassee Museum. You do not have to pay a fee to find the cache.

I brought you here to share three local treasures in Tallahassee. One is the Tallahassee Museum (tallahasseemuseum.org) - which will forever be known as the Junior Museum.

Inside the museum property are a couple of other treasures which can be viewed thru the fence while you're grabbing the cache:
The Seaboard Air Line Caboose: This car began rolling in 1924 and ran until 1963 under the Florida East Coast Railway and the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The interior includes the necessities of life for the crew, with water tanks, a sink, an ice box, a stove, closets and bunks. The bright red caboose is a favorite stop for young visitors who enjoy climbing into the cupola “lookout.”

Bellevue Plantation was the U.S. home of Catherine Willis Gray Murat, located in Tallahassee, Florida. It was purchased in 1854 after Catherine's husband Prince Achille Murat (son of Joachim Murat, Napoleon's brother-in-law and King of Naples from 1808-1815) died in 1847. The home was named after the Hotel de Belle-Vue in Brussels, where Catherine and Achille had lived while in Europe. It has been restored and has period furnishings. The house is now part of the grounds and is located in the Old Florida section. Visitors can learn about the area’s plantation communities. There are two adjacent reconstructed buildings, a plantation kitchen and a slave cabin. Check out the historical marker close to the cache.
