Just a beautiful example of PRE statehood architecture of a home build by a free black carpenter as a wedding gift for a white owner. Florida was awarded statehood after this house was built and the Knott family kept the original furnishings and wall paper (in the main hall only) when they gave the entire house to the government.Picture a home as a time capsule from 1928 to 1941! The outdoor kitchen and bath from the original 1843 home has been moved inside then left alone. Mrs. Knott did a great job decorating the house and even wrote poetry for many pieces of furniture. She was very active in prohibition and sufferage.Mr. Knott was in the government accounting. FREE admission but bring a good donation. It is worth the 2 plus hour guided tour.

Cute house with some neat history. Its worth it for this free 45 minute tour. Parking sucks, though. On Saturday I think its free to park at the meter so we did that.

Went with my six year old to see the Xmas decorations, but she got antsy in the first room. Was assured there were other more kid friendly times to come, but I left the adults to a more mature tour and took her to the chain of parks outside instead :) Enjoyed what I saw...and we got to ride the elevator lol
