Railroad Square, LLC, is a unique cultural destination located on 10 acres in the heart of downtown Tallahassee. Originally a historic McDonnell lumber yard and later a Downtown Industrial Park under William J. Boynton, Jr., it was reimagined by his daughter, Nan Boynton, into an art park in the mid-1970s. Today, managed by Lillian B. Kaye and Adam B. Kaye, it continues to thrive as a vibrant community for artists and small businesses.
Situated conveniently within walking distance of Florida A&M University (FAMU) and Florida State University (FSU), and just one mile from Florida's State Capitol Buildings, Railroad Square Art Park is seamlessly integrated into the urban fabric. The park benefits from its proximity to key locations such as Florida’s historic Amtrak train station on Railroad Avenue, a vital business artery linking the two universities. Additionally, it neighbors Gaines Street corridor and anticipates the future FAMU Way extension.
Railroad Square hosts over 50 studios, galleries, and small retail shops, with notable tenants including an editing facility operated by Academy Award-nominated film director Victor Nunez, Proof Brewery, Tallahassee's largest brewery, and The Crumbox restaurant housed in a vintage red railroad caboose. While many spaces operate as studios available primarily during events like the popular "First Friday Gallery Hop," others are vibrant galleries or shops open to the public year-round.
This creative hub emphasizes community engagement and accessible entrepreneurship. As highlighted by Betty Proctor, one of its members who has leveraged her experiences at Railroad Square to support her daughter with autism, such environments foster personal growth and leadership while supporting diverse business endeavors. Business owners and artists interested in joining this unique community can explore various opportunities presented by the park.
