Purchase options and add-ons

It is no wonder the ancient city of St. Augustine is steeped in secrets. St. Johns, the oldest continuously occupied county in America celebrated its 450th birthday on September 4, 2015. More like a European enclave than an urban landscape, it is a place of cannon fire, street parties, historical reenactments, concerts, and more. From admiring replicas of fine art at Ripley’s Believe or Not, to hunting haunts in restaurants and museums, to eating ice cream from a recipe originated by World War II bombardiers, St. Augustine has it all from beaches, gourmet dining, festivals, and attractions. A young and vibrant business community coexists with a rich history from the Spanish conquistadors, the British aristocracy, antebellum Americans, and Civil Rights leaders. There are stories behind the forts, old Spanish houses, a slave market, civil rights landmarks, museums, hotels, art galleries, a college that was once a luxury hotel, and more. These places all have secrets to tell and, since it’s St. Augustine, one or two ghost stories as well. Once you come to St. Augustine, you keep coming back. St. Augustine is one place, despite its status as the oldest city, whose secrets never get old.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must if you visit St. Augustine
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2024
Yes, we all know it is an old city and there are stories about ghosts, like every old city. But this delightful book introduces you to so many sites that you would otherwise miss and really should explore. It is filled with page after page of the interesting and weird stories and photos from this oldest continuously occupied city in America. I am not a history buff, but you easily get caught up trying to make a list of places you want to visit. A week in the city might not be long enough! Museums, parks, cemeteries, and food!
