History
Nearly 450 years separate its past from its present, but nowhere is history more celebrated than the Old City. From the coquina walls of its forts and city gates to its brick-lined streets and lush, green park at the Fountain of Youth, St. Augustine’s storied collection of homes, museums and historic sites pay tribute to all who influenced it. In 2015, come celebrate our birthday as the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in North America.

St. Augustine is rich in history, and in the late 1800s, "rich" was the operative word. It was a grand time of magnates, marvels and magnificent monuments... theatrical resorts, lavish architecture and conspicuous luxury. Once a sparsely inhabited near-wilderness, the little town burgeoned as a premier resort destination for well-to-do northerners. It all began in 1883 with an auspicious visit by Henry Morrison Flagler.
Set a breezy late-afternoon picnic and stay until sundown. Then get dapper for jazz and cocktails. St. Augustine’s historical glamour is worth dressing up for.
Like most students, Aaron had his first Florida history lesson in a schoolhouse. Thing is, inside this particular schoolhouse, the teacher, a strict schoolmaster, sentenced unruly students to the dungeon. A dunce, complete with requisite conehead hat, sat in the corner.
