Visited the House of Refuge yesterday and had a very interesting tour with George! What incredible history of Florida as well as history of the last remaining House of Refuge for shipwreck survivors. Really takes you back in time! Would recommend for all ages. Special tour activities for young kids. Quite a bargain at $8 per person ($7 for over 55). Beautiful spot on the ocean.

Interesting visit of a small caretaker's house built in the 1870's in case of a shipwreck along the Florida coast. Our guide did a great job on detailing the history of the local times. Take time to look at the bedrock formations on the beach nearby.

This small museum is amazing. Refuge Houses were huge in the past and I had no idea they even existed. Our guide gave us a lot of information, then left us to walk around on our own. I learned a lot. There is a lot of reading involved so probably not a good museum for children. The landscape and scenery was breathtaking.

Our guide very informative and friendly. Had many great stories to tell and related the history very well. Amazing displays of archeological history plus the business of live saving.
