Railroad Square, LLC, stands out as a distinctive cultural hub nestled on 10 acres in downtown Tallahassee’s vibrant core. Its journey began as a historic McDonnell lumber yard before transitioning to Downtown Industrial Park under the guidance of William J. Boynton, Jr., and was later reimagined by his daughter Nan Boynton into an art park during the mid-1970s. Presently overseen by Lillian B. Kaye and Adam B. Kaye, Railroad Square continues as a dynamic space for artists and entrepreneurs.
The park’s ideal location offers close proximity to Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Florida State University (FSU), just one mile from Florida's State Capitol Buildings. Its integration into the urban landscape includes easy access to the historic Amtrak train station on Railroad Avenue-an integral route connecting these universities-and sits near the thriving Gaines Street corridor, with plans for an upcoming extension of FAMU Way.
Railroad Square boasts over 50 studios, galleries, and shops, housing a variety of creative enterprises. Noteworthy tenants include an editing facility from Academy Award-nominated director Victor Nunez, Proof Brewery-Tallahassee’s largest brewer-and The Crumbox restaurant, delightfully situated in a classic red railroad caboose. While many spaces open primarily for events like the popular First Friday Gallery Hop, numerous galleries and shops remain active throughout the year.
This vibrant community emphasizes engagement and entrepreneurship accessibility. For example, Betty Proctor, an artist here, has drawn inspiration from Railroad Square to support her initiatives, including assisting her daughter with autism, showcasing how this environment nurtures personal and professional growth. Business owners and artists intrigued by these opportunities are encouraged to explore what Railroad Square offers.
