AT THE OUTBREAK OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, THERE WERE 15 ENGLISH COLONIES IN AMERICA - NOT JUST 13!

East Florida was the 14th colony and West Florida was the 15th!

FLORIDA'S MOST FAMOUS PRODUCT IS NOT NATIVE TO THE STATE!

"There's probably lots you don't know about America's oldest town but that's okay - I do."

Join me for a fascinating look at this important chapter in our American legacy - a legacy that sadly is seldom reported. The story of St. Augustine is nothing less than the story of the birth of our nation. So much of our heritage starts right here and I can't wait to share it with you.

I rely on the vast knowledge and experience of the wonderful individuals below to provide accurate and interesting facts about the history of St. Augustine. You should too!
