Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse

Cool experience. You're not allowed to take video but it's okay to take pictures. I've been here before and rules have changed but it was all good. I loved getting my diploma at the end of my little visit.

Walkin Tours Ghost Tour – Midnight Chills and Thrills Purchased this self-guided ghost tour on Eventbrite for just $7—definitely worth it. The app allows access on two devices, which made it super convenient for our family setup: my wife had it on her phone, and I paired one earbud with my son so we could enjoy it together. The tour itself took about an hour and was a perfect way to stretch our legs while passing through the city at midnight. St. Augustine's eerie charm really comes alive in the quiet hours, and the app’s narration added the perfect spooky touch without going over the top. Whether you're a skeptic or a thrill-seeker, this tour is a fun, budget-friendly way to explore some haunted history at your own pace. Would totally recommend it for night owls wanting a unique experience.

I didn’t expect to see such an old school building in this area. I was truly surprised that it’s still standing, especially since it’s made of wood. It’s amazing how well it has been preserved over the years. The structure carries a lot of history and character, and it really stands out against the more modern surroundings. It’s a rare and charming reminder of the past.

Visiting the Old School House was such an amazing experience! It was fascinating to see how children used to learn and what schools looked like in the past. The building itself is so old and full of history—it really feels like stepping back in time. Walking through the garden and exploring how everything was set up gave us a glimpse into life from another era. The care and effort that went into preserving this historical site is truly admirable. Whoever is responsible for maintaining it has done an incredible job. I highly recommend visiting, especially with kids—it’s both educational and fun. Such a beautiful and unique place to explore!

It doesn't take very long at all to visit this place. Not a whole lot to see but I like to see what an old schoolhouse looks like. There's a robot presentation where the teacher and a dunce cap-wearing student explain what education was like back then. There's also an outhouse, which provides for some funny photos. At the end of your visit, you get a diploma.

Fun, quirky, and educational. This is the oldest wooden school house in Florida. I was impressed that it was still original. The automaton teacher and dunce kid were hilarious.

Pretty cool window into the school system of the past. Yeah, I'd be the mannequin with the dunce cap no doubt. They've got an amusing animatronic setup with a teacher and some students that bring an informative presentation about the old days of school in St. Augustine, and a nice courtyard you can explore with statues and an old outhouse as well (non functional of course.)

We liked it, we visited it on Monday, and the welcome was very nice, when you get to the main building you push a button to have an explanation about how the school and the students were in those days! It has a nice garden and you can learn, walk around and relax, recommended!
