Highlights
Amelia Island is full of rich history, and is the only location in America to have flown 8 independent flags. It’s rich history takes us on a journey through time including the Timucuan Indians who were our first inhabitants as far back as 2000 BC. The flags tell the story of religious struggle and persecution, the effect of Christianity disallowing any other God to be worshiped. The devastating impact of the Revolutionary war on the island and rebels acting in the name of higher power. Smugglers, slave traders and pirates have all had a part to play in the evolution of this Islands growth. This fascinating tour will take you on a journey through time and show you how such a small barrier island has had a major and little know impact on the history of America. Come and join us on a incredible passage through hundreds of years of incredible historical facts.

Jacksonville, in north-east Florida, is a sprawling river city on the St Johns, with Atlantic beaches, parks, museums and a historic riverside.
Jacksonville straddles the St Johns River near the Atlantic, a river that flows north, and the consolidated city is the largest in the contiguous United States by area. Downtown's Riverwalk follows the riverbank, and neighbourhoods such as Riverside and Avondale have tree-lined streets, shops and early twentieth-century houses. The Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens sits on the riverbank.
