Have you ever wondered why Tallahassee was chosen as Florida’s capital? Or why the downtown streets were laid out the way they are? Or what indigenous people were living here when Tallahassee-Leon County was founded 200 years ago? Author Doug Alderson will answer these questions and more about our capital city’s early history as the featured speaker of the L3X closing luncheon.

Speaker: Doug Alderson
Most of Doug Alderson’s 17 published books focus on the dynamic and sometimes quirky nature of his home state of Florida, and he often melds both history and natural history in his writing. His books include Traveling Florida’s Seminole Trail, America’s Alligator, Waters Less Traveled, New Dawn for the Kissimmee River, and A New Guide to Old Florida Attractions. He has won six first place Royal Palm Literary awards for nonfiction books, three gold medals from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association, and several other state and national writing and photography awards. His latest book, Discovering Florida’s Coast, was the fourth runner up for 2023 book of the year by the Florida Writers Association. He also provides content for the Tallahassee-Leon County Bicentennial website, and he serves as chair of the Bicentennial History Task Force.
