Carolina Kids Co-op Gainesville presents Homeschool Community Day: Field Trip to The St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum — AND — Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
~ ALL HOMESCHOOLERS WELCOME ~
Yo ho ho, me hearties! Join us for TWO historic field trips in one day! FIRST, we’ll take a guided, interactive tour of The St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum, which has the largest collection of pirate artifacts …and plenty of pirate booty. THEN, we’ll cross the street for a self-guided exploration of the Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fortress in the continental U.S. Built by the Spanish in 1672-1695, the Castillo served as a crucial military outpost for more than 300 years — transitioning from Spanish to British to American control.
