Ximenez-Fatio House Museum - St. Augustine, Florida

It was a fantastic experience! Each room is beautifully preserved and filled with period-appropriate furniture which along with the interesting stories provided by the audio guide make it very easy to imagine what life was like in those times. It’s clear a lot of care and effort has gone into maintaining this historic place. We visited during Night of Lights so the Christmas decorations were a huge bonus.

I skipped this one because I've visited many house museums here. If you're staying in St. Augustine for more than 3-4 days, it might be worth seeing.

Burada pek çok ev müzesi gezdiğim için burayı pas geçtim. Eğer 3-4 günden fazla St. Augustine de kalacaksanız görmenizde fayda olabilir.

What a wonderful museum. This is also a very elegant location for a small wedding ceremony.
I loved the garden and I leaned a lot while talking to the caretakers.
I touched the oldest fig tree that I have ever seen and I sat under an orange tree smelling orange blossoms for the first time in my life.
It was a wonderful day and I look forward to visiting the museum again the next time that I am in town.

Very unique experience. We went to this place as early as it opened and were the only 2 visitors there at the time, so we really took our time to see everything and to hear the explanations about each and every room. It was really interesting and unique to be at a place where people used to live and visit so long ago. The staff were super nice, there is a cute little gift shop and very clean restrooms.
It was about 12$ per person (no discount for students unfortunately) but I think it was totally worth it.

We had a wonderful tour of the property. There is a rich history of the homes here. Beautiful antique pieces bring history alive. We visited on the morning after a paranormal investigation took place so we received a little extra information. It was so fun if you like this kind of thing! Our guide was lovely and knowledgeable about the area.

If you have ever wanted to step back in time Saint Augustine is the place to do it, and the Ximenez-Fatio house is one of the very best places to get a real sense of how the times were back then. We took the audio guide tour and loved walking through all the rooms at our (myself, 70 year old mother and 7 year old daughter) own pace. Note that there is no AC in the house, they do have fans set up and the breezes made it tolerable. I learned so much and really enjoyed the experience. They also had a fun "scavenger" hunt for my daughter which kept her engaged, and a wonderful selection of prizes to choose from at the end.

Hidden history that’s being told! This is a must see. Live actors in real life history situations. Very well researched. This is a secret gem in St Augustine. Parking is an issue but I eve your there all is good. Close to restaurants and the historic library.

Worthwhile experience, was 12 dollars for seniors with audio. Used my phone so sound was from my hearing aids. This has more to see than the Gonzalez-Alvarez house. Excellent example of life back in 1840, with details of the store prior to that.
