Springtime is a civic organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Tallahassee history. The home and meeting place of the Springtime Board of Directors is the David S. Walker Library built in 1903. David S. Walker for whom the library is named was the founder of Tallahassee's first library and Governor of Florida from 1865-1868. The Walker library was a functioning library until 1976 and then was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Springtime members raised the funds necessary to restore the building. The library remains open for the public to see Monday through Friday.
Executive Director, Karen Ellis is actively involved in the administrative affairs of Springtime Tallahassee as well as being entrenched in the organization of the next festival season. For further information, email her by clicking on her name above.
