Organizers from the First Florida Capitol need volunteers for their build days

Since June, the group has been working on a replica of Florida’s inaugural legislative home.

This volunteer driven project has been coming together piece by piece.

Sandi Brooks shares what this journey has been like so far.

"Students from one of the high school's has been out, a credit union had their employees volunteer, just people see it posted online Facebook and they come out then join in."

With hopes that the historical replica will be complete before the Labor Day weekend.
