About

Mission San Luis de Apalachee in Tallahassee, Florida is one of the most rigorously archaeologically-reconstructed 17th-century Spanish mission and Apalachee village sites in North America—featuring a soaring thatched council house (the largest wooden structure in North America at contact), mission church, friary, soldier quarters, and Native village set among woodland clearings. The extraordinary scale of the thatched council house and the authenticity of the reconstruction based on extensive excavation create visual environments for contact-period Native and Spanish colonial narratives rarely available anywhere in the country. Both interior and exterior filming available with Florida state agency coordination. Costumed interpreters can be incorporated. Perfect for Spanish mission era productions, Native American cultural documentary, and productions exploring the 17th-century Southeast. A premier Florida film location. Filming permits available through Mission San Luis Film Coordinator. Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research manages formal permits.
