The Lincolnville Series

St. Augustine, also known as the Oldest City in the United States, contains a melting pot of cultures and is steeped in Native American, British, French, Spanish, Minorcan, and African American history. Proof of its cultural influence can be found in Victorian-styled homes, coquina architectural elements, landmarks such as the Cathedral Basilica, and others. Join us as we learn about the history of Lincolnville, a community comprised of freedmen and women.
