About us
The Cade Museum for Creativity & Invention is a museum of ideas. The question is not what you will see, but what will you imagine and create. Dr. James Robert Cade, a kidney specialist at the University of Florida, was best known as the leader of the research team that invented Gatorade in 1965. Dr. Cade and his family established The Cade Museum Foundation in 2004. Their goal was to create a museum to inspire creativity and invention. They succeeded in creating a hands-on adventure in science for all ages. The mission of the museum is to transform communities by inspiring and equipping future inventors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. The Cade Museum for Creativity & Invention offers interactive activities in the Creativity and Fab Labs, hands-on learning in the rotunda, outdoor educational activities, traveling exhibits, and much, much, more. Cade programming and events are designed to engage guests in "purposeful creativity," the kind that leads to great inventions, new businesses, and ideas that change the world.

Last on our list but certainly not least is Lillian’s Music Store (the actual music store) which first opened in 1933. Tom sings about buying guitar strings there and reminisces about his youth in “Dreamville” which he told Rolling Stone is “…one of the best songs I ever wrote.” While the spot no longer operates as a music store, it’s a great place to grab a drink. In 1974, Lillian’s Music Store, became a bar — and they kept the name and the sign. Lillian’s, touted as one of the oldest bars in North Central Florida, hosts karaoke every Wednesday night at 10pm, so go sing “Dreamville” or your favorite Petty song and pour one out for Tom! https://lnkd.in/eVH_yGP6 #TomPettyTuesday #Top10TomPettyThingsToDo
