This museum is a little out of way from the main area which is great. I would highly recommend visiting. It is in a quiet area with less people. We walked to it from St George street area and nice to see the streets and older homes along the way. It was towards end of day but they do a tour every 30 minutes on the hour. There are a number of exhibits and building to explore on your own. You can even see the oldest house on your own but would highly recommend the tour. On our tour it was only us 4 and 2 others who joined later. I think the tour guide nutritive of the history of the house was well done. She had a lot of knowledge which really tied into the history of the whole town. She was very pleasant and answered all the questions. I think this get overlooked but if you want a more real history of St Augustine this is a good place to visit.

Two adults visited here in late January 2023. A nice place to visit. They offer tours on the half hour, which are well worthwhile. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative. We spent maybe three hours here total, but we tend to read most of the information so YMMV. The actual oldest house was the most interesting part of the complex but there was another old house that had an exhibition on surfing in St Augustine, and another with a display of maps over the past 500 years or so. After the tour, you are free to wander about the oldest house taking pictures. Fairly cheap to tour. There is free parking in the lot next to the house or it is a short walk from the main historic area.

Nice historical house and area. Makes you realize this was a big house back then, and we have gotten used to more space. Saw surf museum here(OK). St Francis barracks across the street with cemetery interesting too.

this is a great place to actually see the history of how people lived in this area. the bottom floor is spanish and the top is british. you can really understand the difference in the people and how they lived by viewing this house. while we were there several ladies were painting pictures of different house, trees, flowers or other things that make this house unique. this must be a great place to learn to paint nature.

On the advice of our daughter (a history major), we recently toured The Oldest House Museum Complex in St. Augustine. We had the good fortune to have John as our tour guide. He was extraordinary...without any script told us of the rich, diverse history of the "home", and surrounding complex, and the varied generations of families who occupied it. John also shared with us the complex history of St. Augustine, from it's earliest and primitive development. We've visited St. Augustine multiple times, enjoying all this special city has to offer...yet never before this tour of The Oldest House Museum Complex did we realize just how much rich, deep history is here for us to learn about, and learn from.

Definitely worth vising this museum complex. Unexpectedly they also house a surf museum if you're into that! Understand that if it's 100 degrees outside that it's almost that hot inside the oldest house, but still worth doing!

I have been coming to St. Augustine for decades and this was my first time visiting here. I am so glad I finally did because it was amazing! The historic significance of this house and complex is fascinating. Loved the way it was laid out. The grounds were beautiful and everything was so well preserved and presented. They also had a surf museum on the grounds which was fun as well. I also have to mention how friendly and helpful the staff was. They clearly had a passion for this place and it showed. If you are visiting St. Augustine, this is a must on your trip.

To even imagine a house surviving decades is incredible, to even walk into its hallowed doorways is even more amazing. The house is simple but it is displayed as if it were lived it by both Spanish and British. The museum part helps tell the story of the city of St Augustine. Ask why there is a cannon ball in the wall? The story might surprise you.
