A step back in time, with Miss Tracy!! LOTS of information, great historical displays, many unique and interesting items to see in action from days gone by!! We so much enjoyed our visit as an older couple, who remember a lot of these items, and also very educational for young people to see and understand!! Miss Tracy was a delight, by explaining and showing us the working items, and giving the background and history of the store in St. Augustine! Thank You!!
