St Augustine ~ Gainesville Family Blog

St Augustine, Florida

St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-established city in the United States. It is rich in history (and ghost stories). It also boasts the Oldest Wood School House in the USA.
In Alachua County, all public school fourth graders make a field trip to St Augustine and visit, among other things, the Oldest School House.



This sign briefly explains the history of the earliest St Augustine settlers.

St Augustine is just a short drive from Gainesville.  It makes a great day or weekend trip!
