Constitution Convention Museum State Park
Constitution Convention Museum State Park is a Florida State Park located just outside of Port St. Joe, off US 98, in northwestern Florida. The park contains a museum with examples of 19th century life in the former town of St. Joseph, and features life-sized figures with audio presentations about the state's first Constitutional Convention. The address is 200 Allen Memorial Way.
==History==
Founded in 1835 and gone by 1844, St. Joseph is notable for being the site of the first Constitutional Convention of the state of Florida in 1838. It was selected over Tallahassee (at the time the territorial capitol) due to promoters of the town, as well as conflict between East Florida and Middle Florida. The more affluent Middle Floridians had long been proponents of statehood. However, the people of East and West Florida believed a state government could not yet be financially supported, so they wished Florida to remain a territory.〔(Constitution Convention Museum State Park article )〕
A group of territorial delegates met finally in St. Joseph, working from December 3 of 1838 through January 11 of 1839 to create the initial draft of Florida's constitution. Four more conventions were held in other locations, and Florida joined the Union in 1845, but St. Joseph has the distinction of being where Florida's statehood began.
