University of Florida Historic St. Augustine: Governors House Cultural Center and Museum

The Governor’s House Cultural Center and Museum is located in the heart of historic downtown Saint Augustine at the intersection of King Street and St. George Street overlooking the historic Plaza de la Constitución.

The building, historically known as Government House, has a long and fascinating history since the site has been home to several government offices since 1598. An exhibit in the grand lobby follows this history including a timeline to present-day.

Open daily 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM with free admission.
