Don't they still teach that in grade schools? I grew up in the midwest and we had it in schools there.
Of course it still is. I was in 4th grade in 2001-2002 and we learned about it and went on a field trip to St Augustine, my younger sibling was in 4th grade in 2007-2008 and they did the same thing.

And we also learned about it in high school and I just graduated this year.

I remember the 4th grade St. Augustine trip I went in 2001. I still like visiting there- so much history, and the architecture is awesome and unlike any other place I've seen in the country.

St.Augustine is a favorite three day getaway of ours. It is a very nice quaint town with good restaurants and watering holes.

Nice town for a horse carriage ride, tramway tour of the city, and things for the kids such wax musuems and the like.

Good shopping areas----guys hold onto the wallets.

Overall we enjoy St. Augustine---nice place.

Yes I am familiar with St Augustine and its historical past. It is one of my favorite places to visit in Florida. A smaller quieter place with shops and restaurants where one can actually walk around and enjoy the area. Visit these shops and restauants and walk out along the water. Take a tour and hear about all the historical happenings to this small city just south of Jacksonville.

St Augustine is a pleasant place to visit and even with the crowds there, it doesn't feel so overwhelmed by them as further south in the state.
