After three years of visiting St. Augustine, I finally toured the Lightner Museum. The museum, housed in the former Hotel Alcazar (1888-1931) features massive collections from collector Otto C. Lightner (1886-1950).

Open seven days a week, the Lightner Museum lies in the historic St. Augustine district directly across from Flagler College. To reach the museum entrance, you go through the front part of the building which houses St. Augustine City Hall to a serene courtyard area.
