The Constitution Convention Museum State Park is the site of Florida's first state convention. The Constitution Convention as well as the vanished city of St. Joseph are featured in the museum at Port St. Joe.

A Constitution monument was erected on the grounds in 1922 and bears the names of the convention delegates engraved in marble. A museum building was added to the 13.5-acre site and opened to the public in 1955. A self-guided tour will lead you through the convention hall where the convention setting is recreated with life-size delegates. Audio-animated mannequins portray Territorial Governors Robert Reid and William P. Duval, Senator David Y. Levy and Attorney Thomas L. Baltzell.

A nominal fee is charged for museum visitors six years of age and older. Special interpretive programs and tours designed for groups can be arranged.

Pet Information
Pets are allowed in the park on a six foot leash at all times. Owners are reminded to pick up after their pet. Registered guide and companion animals are welcome inside the museum.

Interpretive Center
A self-guided tour will lead you through displays and exhibits of the era of the late 1830’s referencing life in the town of St. Joseph. Railroad moguls mixed with high society in this prosperous time. It was this affluence that brought the state’s first constitution convention to the town of St. Joseph in 1838. A replicated convention hall takes you into the debate of delegates Robert Raymond Reid, William P. Duvall, David Y. Levy and Thomas L Baltzell. These life-size, audio-animated mannequins bring a realistic touch to the pomp and circumstance of drafting a state constitution.
