Florida at War: St Augustine in the American Revolution, July 17, 2026

St. Augustine played an important role in the American Revolution — but not on the side of American independence! The city and its residents remained loyal to Great Britain, with many consequences. To commemorate America's 250th Anniversary, the UF Historic St. Augustine, Inc. presented a museum exhibit at Governor's House Cultural Center and Museum telling the story of St. Augustine, FL during the American Revolution. On July 17, 2026, the exhibit curators presented this panel discussion recalling the process of creating the exhibit and the surprising stories their research revealed.
