Summary

New!

Discover what goes on behind the scenes at the museum. This program provides you with exclusive access to parts of the historic light station not available with general admission tickets. The tour includes the maritime archaeology artifact conservation lab, where participants will view authentic shipwreck artifacts recently recovered from the ocean floor and learn how archaeologists conserve these invaluable resources. You will investigate the history of the St. Augustine Lighthouse, which includes a glimpse of life as a lighthouse keeper in the late 1800s at the Keepers’ House museum. Your tour will end with the opportunity to climb the lighthouse and enjoy the view from 140 feet above ground.


After your tour you will enjoy a Dutch treat lunch at the award winning Gypsy Cab Company (www.gypsycab. com) just a few steps away from the museum. Why not enjoy the area’s seasonal decorations and holiday shopping after lunch?
