What St. Augustine, Florida Needs Is a World Class Museum

St. Augustine, Florida does not have one world class museum.

This is not to slight the aspirations of those who operate museums and historical sies here, including the Castillo San Marcos and Ripleys' Believe It or Not! Museum.

However, you know from your travels that there is better information, more cultural diversity and less ethnocentrism in an National Park Service visitor center or just about any presidential library.

One of the things that keeps St. Augustine from being a world class tourist destination is a classy museum and historical interpretation by those who do it best -- the National Park Service.

We need a St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Scenic Coastal Parkway. See links at right.
