From the 1500s with Love: Pensacola & St. Augustine

Long before America’s founding in 1776, two coastal destinations were shaping the story of a nation yet to be born. Pensacola, founded in 1559 as America’s First Settlement, and St. Augustine, established in 1565 as America’s First City, stand as living testaments to the endurance, culture, and curiosity that defined our earliest chapters. Together, these destinations invite you to journey through time—exploring centuries of discovery, resilience, and connection that continue to inspire the America we know today.
