Founded by the Spanish in 1565, St. Augustine is known as the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States. At the St. Augustine History Museum, you can explore four centuries of history, from Timucua and Seminole material culture to the Spanish founding, the British interval and the city's late 19th-century reinvention as a winter resort. Shipwreck artifacts, weapons, tools and domestic objects fill the cases, and the museum is easily seen in about an hour. It is a short walk from the Castillo de San Marcos and St. George Street.

Four centuries of St. Augustine history
in one place
The St. Augustine History Museum presents the history of the city and northeastern Florida through exhibits and artifacts. Follow the galleries through four centuries of stories that most visitors, busy photographing the fort, never quite get to. It is modest in scale and easily seen in about an hour.
From Native cultures to the Spanish colonial era

The galleries move in order through Timucua and Seminole material culture, the Spanish founding in 1565 and its long colonial aftermath, and the British interval.
Shipwreck artifacts and everyday tools up close

Salvage and shipwreck artifacts, weapons, tools and domestic objects fill the cases. Recreated historical scenes help you picture daily life in the past.
A late 19th-century winter resort

See how St. Augustine was reinvented in the late 19th century as a winter resort for wealthy northerners under Henry Flagler. Afterward, it is an easy walk to the nearby Castillo de San Marcos and St. George Street.
※ Opening hours are 09:00–16:30. Hours may be reduced on major holidays.
