I took my children to Thomas Center for an outdoor performance of The Wizard of OZ! The center was beautiful, from the architecture to the fountains to the groundskeeping. My children loved it, and so did I. Looking forward to more events at the Thomas Center! Lovely gem in Gainesville. More

Lots of weddings here - good bit of the Thomas family's history and how they came to settle in Gainesville. Good trip for older kids or teens who need to write a report on FL history sites. Beautiful grounds for pictures and weddings. More
