The rich history of the Black experience in St. Augustine, Florida is also the history of the Black experience in America.

 In 1866, free men and women birthed Lincolnville: a community that found itself at the crossroads of history.

Through exhibits and stories told from a local, intimate perspective, the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center chronicles 450 years of the winding road that is the black journey.

 Come and experience the journey for yourself.
