St. Augustine Oldest Store Museum

Dive into the past with this self-guided history tour at the Oldest Store Museum situated in the oldest city in America, St. Augustine. This museum is a recreation of the General store from 1908. Most of the contents of the store are original properties owned by a renowned resident of St. Augustine from those times called Charles Hamblin. Local actors and storytellers dressed up in costumes of the bygone era of the 19th and 20th centuries make this a living history tour as they take you through various inventions from the past two centuries.

Be prepared to get amused by nearly 100,000 antiques displayed here. You will witness unique turn-of-the-century American innovations, an array of eccentric gadgets right from a gas-fueled iron, and steam-run tractor, to collections such as farm equipment, clothing, elixirs, tonics, and more.
