FSU Football Helmet
This Florida State University football helmet was given to former Governor Jeb Bush (1999–2007) by FSU Head Coach Bobby Bowden (1976-2009). Bowden wrote on the helmet, “To Jeb B., If in need of a friend, refer to me personally!” Often, an outgoing governor will contribute a few of the gifts received while in office to the Museum of Florida History. Governor Bush donated this helmet, along with a number of other objects, to the Museum shortly before he left office. (Collection of the Museum of Florida History)
