Based in America's oldest port, the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum is an educational experience for the entire family. The working lighthouse is nearly 150-years-old, and is part of a navigation aid system designed to support naval defense, trade, fishing, travel, and pleasure boating since the 16th century.
You can explore this amazing historical treasure with hands-on activities to stimulate your mind and imagination. The museum also has an active research program, documenting and working on the remains of several British shipwrecks off-shore. In addition, they hold a collection of over 19,000 objects, documents, and archaeological specimens.
It's an amazing trip through history the entire family will enjoy. And it's just a few minutes from your Rodeway Inn Hotel.
