St Augustine - Florida History Tour
Join Science Partners on a tour of St. Augustine, our nation's oldest city. Our day begins at the Fountain of Youth, a National Archaeological Park. The park is located at the site of the ancient Timucuan Indian town of Seloy. This is where the history of North American began when Ponce de Leon came ashore, placed a cross made of stones on the ground, and claimed ALL of North America for Spain. At that time, "La Florida" was the entire North American continent, not just our state! Our group will tour the Springhouse where we can sample water from the spring that Ponce de Leon thought was the Fountain of Youth. We'll also see the Ponce de Leon Landmark Cross - thought to be the actual stone cross that his men placed on the ground in 1513. We'll also see Navigator’s Planetarium, Timucuan Indian village, other exhibits, the grounds, and gift shop.
Then we're off for the Old Florida Museum where we'll participate in fun, hands-on programs designed to be entertaining as well as educational. Students will experience life in St. Augustine through the struggles and successes of its people during distinct time periods of Florida's history.
Next, we'll head to St. Augustine's historical district where divide into two groups. Mrs. Clifton will lead the one group to St. George Street where we will have an opportunity to step back in time on this narrow, paved brick street to see the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse in the USA, the City Gate, and Huguenot Cemetery. We'll also have some free time along this historic street.
Mr. Clifton will take the other group to Castillo de San Marcos where he will give us a short history of the fort and instruct us on exploring 300 years of Florida history at this unique national monument.
Then the two groups will switch off. Our day as a group ends at approximately 3:00 PM.
