	Biographical/Historical:	In 1957, a group of Tallahassee educators and interested citizens founded the Tallahassee Junior Museum, later renamed the Tallahassee Museum of History and Natural Science. The original location of the museum was in a house in downtown Tallahassee. In 1962, it relocated to the south side of Tallahassee. The original mission of the museum was to establish a facility for "bringing about better understanding and appreciation by children and others of wildlife, nature, and the world in which they live, the natural sciences, the social sciences, and history, the culture and development of other times and lands and their people . . . and of the different habits, customs, and modes of such people and times."
	Summary:	This collection contains photographs of the Tallahassee Junior Museum, most taken just before and during the opening of the museum. Images include the first presidents of the museum: Clifton Lewis, Rickey Jones, and Beth McCord. Other images include the museum's nature trail and animals. There are several images of young children walking through the nature trail.
