Oldest House Museum Complex

This was an interesting excursion. There are actually three houses and a small museum on the property. When the guide talked about the surf museum, I pictured "serf" with an "e"... It's actually a "surf" museum with "u". The oldest house was very interesting. Worth the stop.

It was a nice experience to go see the oldest house in Saint Augustine. There is furniture from back then, and it's staged like in the 1700s and older. There are restrooms in case you need to stop by them. I'm uploading pictures from the outside, the inside downstairs and upstairs. Also, the kitchen was kept outside of the house because they were scared that the house might go on fire.

Such an interesting place with a lot of history, and our tour guide did a great job. I wish I could remember his name! Check out the old maps while you're here, too. And there's a surfers museum on the grounds as well (we didn't go in there).

This is a very interesting and worthwhile visit. Be sure to see all the houses and grounds. The staff are awesome.

Great place to learn a little bit about history. Children of all ages should visit; it may make them more appreciative of the things they have! Did an event honoring the fallen. Good turnout, good fun!

Your trip to St Augustine won’t be complete if you don’t visit this historic spot. The oldest house has a museum and a house tour.Front desk staff are friendly and they have a small gift store at the entrance. There isn’t much to check around except for the house and the maps gallery.But they have got enough history to keep anyone occupied for at least an hour. Good spot to stop by for a short historic tour.

This was great! We did the little guided tour. It was so informative.
