A state task force responsible for selecting the site for the Florida Museum of Black History recommended St. Johns County as the new home for the museum in a final vote on Friday.

The Florida Museum of Black History Task Force recommended St. Augustine to be the new home of Florida’s Black History Museum after hours of discussion on Tuesday.

Dozens of St. Johns County residents headed to Tallahassee in support of building the Florida Museum of Black History in St. Augustine didn’t get very far Friday morning before they had an unexpected detour.

Community members will follow the group involved with the proposal to Tallahassee as they answer additional questions the Florida Museum of Black History Task Force has.

St. Johns County was selected as one of the four finalists to be the home of the first Florida Museum of Black History, according to a release.
