Hands down the best smoked sausage I have ever had.

If not, then Mission San Luis de Apalachee (also known as San Luis de Talimali)

The picture is actually a re-creation of what the original may have looked like from archaeological clues.

My next favorite local National Register Place is the Carnegie Library on the campus of Florida A&M. The story I was told is that when Andrew Carnegie was going around giving away libraries, the worthies of Tallahassee turned him down because they would have to let everybody in. Tallahassee at that time had a private subscription lending library, the Library for the State Legislature and the library at the Florida Women's College (now Florida State University). So they saw no need for a library where everyone in the community could access books.

Andrew Carnegie disagreed and gave his library to then all black university. Tallahassee/Leon County Florida did not get a real public library until the 1950s due to the prejudice of the "leading" citizens....
