The Cade Museum Foundation, inspired and funded by the late Gatorade inventor J. Robert Cade, selected a downtown Gainesville park to house a 50,000-sq.-ft. museum of invention and innovation. The Cade Museum, at Depot Park in east Gainesville, is expected to open in 2011. Nearby, city officials are working to refurbish the Gainesville Railroad Depot and spruce up Depot Park with bike trails, boardwalks and bridges, and community leaders are restoring the old Cotton Club, where dance bands and singers, including Ray Charles, Bo Diddley and Brook Benton, drew crowds in the early 1950s.
