Historic Timeline Saunter

The Historic Florida Militia presents a timeline saunter on one Saturday evening on select months. 

During the saunter, you can learn how the European settlers and conquerors lived in St. Augustine and can watch this knowledgeable and appropriately garbed group as they walk through historic downtown. The saunter begins at the City Gate on St. George Street and runs to the Plaza de la Constitución before heading down Aviles Street, the oldest street in the continental United States.

The participants will pose for photos along their route and answer questions about the people who lived in St. Augustine in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.

The Historic Florida Militia is a 501(c)3 organization composed of the following historic reenactor groups: Men of Menéndez, representing the 16th-century Spanish soldados and settlers; Drakes Men, representing the 16th-century British privateers; Searle's Buccaneers, representing 17th-century British privateers; and the St. Augustine Garrison, representing 18th-century Spanish soldados, settlers, and government officials.

Admission: Free

When: 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on select Saturdays throughout the year. We will post the dates as we learn of them.

• In 2025, we know of Saunters on June 14, July 12, and August 16.

Where: The saunter begins at the City Gate on St. George and Orange Streets, and continues on St. George Street across the Plaza de la Constitución to Aviles Street.
