St. Augustine History Museum

Welcome to the St. Augustine History Museum, the museum that explores the history of the ‘quaint, sun-kissed city known for its miles of pristine coastline and ancient forts’.

This ‘Ancient City’ has had quite an epic 500-year history, from prehistoric settlers and European power struggles to Henry Flagler’s winter haven and railroad base. You will see this 500-year history once you step inside the museum and are ‘taken on a sweeping historical journey of the people, places, and things that helped shape this age-old city’.

Learn about the Cracker pioneers, nascent tourism industry, ‘tin can tourists’ and vast influence the Spanish had on the founding of St. Augustine overall. See historical displays and life-size dioramas, and Spanish artifacts such as replicated Spanish galleons, cannons, weaponry, and tools!
