HistoryFest 2022 starts TODAY! We hope you’re as excited as we are for this year’s HistoryFest! In case you weren’t ‘in the know’, The St. Augustine History Festival was created and conceived by UFHSA (University of Florida Historic St. Augustine, Inc.) and the Lastinger Family Foundation for the purpose of generating excitement about the history of America’s oldest city, with the goal is to showcase every era of St. Augustine’s long and storied past through 21 Special Events and Historic Venues – from our founding in 1565 to the most advanced technology available in 2022 to research and study every year in-between. The St. Augustine Historical Society is proud to participate in the event this year, and has chosen to offer multiple events across the many days of the event, and at each of our properties! Our Events Thursday, May 12th – Dr. Christine Miller, UF School of Medicine: Colonial Medical Practices Talk begins at 4:00 PM in the Map Gallery of the Dunham Building at the Oldest House Museum Complex.  Friday, May 13th – Charles Tingley: Preserving the Llambias House Talk begins at 2:30 PM at the Llambias House, 31 St. Francis Street. “Historic Preservation of the Llambias House” exhibit from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
