If you haven’t been to St. Augustine in Florida, you’re in for a treat. Founded in 1565 by the Spanish, the city features 35 buildings from the Spanish period between 1565-1763. For more posts about the oldest city in the United States, read about the Ximenez-Fatio House and St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine.

Located on the bustling, pedestrian-only St. George Street in the historic district, the Peña-Peck House piqued my interest. Open for tours only on Friday and Saturday from noon – 4 pm, I finally visited the house on our most recent trip. The Women’s Exchange of St. Augustine runs the guided tours at no charge but appreciates donations.
